What are ya'lls feelings about using Red Poly Bushings to achieve better high speed handling and stability as compared to Blue, for ride comfort. Where can one get a complete set for a 1500?
 
I cannot answer the first question but poly bushings can be sourced through Moss Motors and The Winner’s Circle.
 
TY...Moss does not carry a complete set for a 1500 MG Midget and blue only, I think I want RED. I will try The Winners Circle..... TY
 
I do think it depends on your plans. I know that some have found the Poly bushings a little hard for daily driving. OTOH if you are racing you probably want them especially for a 1500. Are you keeping the rubber bumpers? If not you might also want to source 1275 front springs and I doubt you have a front anti roll bar. (Apologies if I am telling you what you already know)
 
I am not racing it, I just drive fast on the Farm to Market roads. It has a sway bar, is that the same?
