Question Elephant Racing?

Does anyone have experience with Elephant Racing?

I’ve been looking at upgrading my suspension and was thinking about an Elephant Racing package.

Great stuff. They are more widely known in the 911 community but their stuff is top notch for all models. Good customer service on the couple of parts I have purchased thru them.

+1 They do some great stuff and are easy to deal with. You can upgrade your suspension to a decent standard with much cheaper stuff, but theirs is top notch IMO.

I use their pieces on my 911 and love it, all pro stuff. Just picked up a 924S that has the rear bushings from them, so I'm looking forward to getting a look at the '44 stuff as well.

I would highly reccommend there products..I recently installed them on my control arms and the only problem was removing the OEM bushings big PITA.
One of the main reasons going with ER was the ease of installation other brands required you to loctite them in ER uses a C-clip no messing with torque or glue.

Has anyone run there stuff on a street driven car that sees rain? They do say its weather sealed, but i wonder how well it holds up still.

I used ER spring plate bushings (the aluminum-bronze suckers) and their sealed monoballs for my rear semi-trailing arms. Very nice quality, intelligent design and fast shipping. Top marks in all respects.

Jon just picked up my car. I installed the rear bushings/bearings etc. They are a bear to install. The hardest part is getting the old stuff off. The spring plate bushings are the worst part to install, you have to burn and grind all the old stuff off, then lightly paint the newly exposed metal before you install the new stuff. And the new stuff has to be shimmed out to fit. Took a bit of effort, but the result were good.
