I'm removing the last bits of rubber in the rear suspension and only have dog bones left to source. Given my car is a hot street/light track car installing new top brand dog bones is overkill. So I'm looking at the either new middle tier ones or used top tier ones.

Anyone have Torque Solutions dog bones installed? Any issues? Nosiy? Are you using rubber boots? Would you buy them again?

I have them on my 996 and they are fine, the rod ends are the same quality and type as the more expensive brands, I do not have the boots on mine.

I have the RSS ones on my car with the rubber boots. Recently, someone was selling a complete Champion setup. If you can find that thread either here or on the other site, you might find a high-end set for the same cost as the mid-priced set.

Would love to have a set of RSS. I'm just trying to convince myself the extra $300 is worth it. Anyone have a used for sale?

Maybe PM this guy - never marked sold, but kind of old - who knows maybe they're sitting in his parts cabinet.

I've searched extensively both Marketplace forums and can't find the ad for all the Champion parts that someone had up for sale - sorry.

Ha, already did. The Jan date is 2015 though, not 2016. Parts are long sold.

Pete - did you replace your subframe rubber bushings too? If yes, was it difficult to install?

Since I'm not sure which bushings you're referring to, I'm thinking not. I did do RSS semi-solid motor mounts though.

No, not currently using those. Stop making projects for me

I'm very happy with the current state of the car so likely will leave it as is for now. Last project on the radar is to add the necessary sensors and wiring to support a boost and AFM gauge. Currently I have everything I need to do it, well, except for the time.

If you do the bushings post your opinions if you would.

I run TS dog bones. Zero noise, easy install, good quality.

Semi, TPC listed a set of used lightly used RSS Dog bones this morning - https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-marketplace/930046-for-sale-rss-suspension-parts-control-arms-links-bars.html

Thanks. I just bought a near new set including F&R toe links from someone else in the marketplace. Appreciate you remembering this thread.
