RE: Poly bushing in 105/115

[Godfrey DiGiorgi <ramarren@domain.elided>]

I have replaced all the bushings in FrankenSpider's front and rear 
suspension, and used all the available ones from AlfaBill. I also use 
the IAP springs with Koni shocks, fronts set up to be 3/4 way to full 
hard and the rears just 1/8 of the way.
I'd like to report that they work very well indeed, the chassis now 
feels tight and predictable, firm yet not harsh, with well controlled 
body roll in hard cornering.

The upper-rear trunion bushing was the last one I changed and was well 
worth the effort.
