Metal A-Arm bushings???
I was wondering if converting my rubber bushing to metal would give me better weight transfer up front due to the extra loss in friction over the rubber bushings. Any thoughts??

It will speed up the weight transfer, but otherwise it won't really make it any "better". Whether it is better or not will depend on the rest of your set up (i.e. spring/shock package, tires, chassis reinforcement). You're also going to have to take into consideration how you are going to stress the associated parts by removing the flex of the bushings. Most guys upgrade to polyurethane bushings to tighten up the suspension, and unless you are building an all out race car, poly bushings are all that is really necessary.

The car is completely set up for straight line and won't see regular street use very often. It cuts a 1.8 60' on the street without the Hoosiers. Also what are your thoughts on the umi drag bar??? Only thing left that I haven't bought or looked into
