Maybe pm Unlimited Power for Mugen stuff.

Would you go for spherical bearing on the camber, Hyper? Track car only...

I put in Spoon ones when I did full polybushing. 70ish quid IIRC from Amber Performance.

The only sperical bearing i'd fit to an S2000 is the Castor bush. Polybushes everywhere else will do the job nicely and are easy to replace (especially the lower arm shock bushes - these wear out pretty fast). Really depends how much you can get hold of them (Bearings) for, but expect a somewhat limited run with these too, although they'd have a better life than poly for the specific application.

A track car would certainly have them in

Good info dude and makes sense now after refitting the arms yesterday. The castor/compliance bush that polybush supplied really does limit the free movement of the arms up and down motion. I will be replacing it for a spherical bearing at some point. Dixon does the hardrace ones and Azura design also do them but may be hard to get hold of. Think I'll just go with Dixon and Hardrace as they come with a guarantee also.
