I might just get one to have either a spare or 2nd one to use.
I know @ac3jason said he had one but having 2 is better than none

They are made of stiffer material so the wont flex as much as the bushings that come with the RSB. So it helps the RSB perform slightly better. Atleast that's what I think they do, lol.

I know that they absorb/dampen energy. Just dont know if the moogs would create more dampening or less... resulting in more rattling.
My car is new so maybe I will have more time to upgrade the bushings? Idk... Not sure if this is recommended just because older models get better bushings or if its better in general regardless of condition.

Just learn to DIY, it's not hard. So you have a bigger rear bar and endlinks? It'll be a fun way to learn, don't take your car to a mechanic when it's easier to just learn about your car firsthand.

Aye sir. Might aswell. I've seen the diy. Seems easy enough. Thx guys
Use ramps not jackstands. Having the wheels supported makes it much easier. The suspension does not need to be loaded/unloaded. Its just easier with the car sitting on ramps so when you undo the end link its not under load and the LCA won't drop away from you.

Death,
Hope its not too late, but it turns out I'll be able to make it. Though I'll be heading out on the 18th. Funds sent to your paypal. If it truly is too late, I'll bring a ski mask to assist me in retrieving my mini-fortune.
