Richard, did this work out for you? Was the "compliance" set correct? Any issues pressing the bushings in or out?

They're still in the box in my garage . Haven't installed them as the original ones weren't actually cracked as I had thought.

Rylan,

Does TC Design actually make a bearing set for the control arms? In SCCA Touring it's legal to replace the upper and lower damper bushings as long as the stock hardware is reused. What I'm thinking is to use urethane for the upper mounts and bearings for the lower mounts.

That picture looks like the one from SCC of the Opera S2000.

I may email Opera directly (have one of the Japanese at work translate an email) to see if I can buy any of those parts depending on TC Design.

Yeah TC has made me spherical bearings for every piece of my suspension. And he can make more for anyone.
