My front suspension was rebuilt by me about 8 years ago, used all OE rubber bushes. No complaints, just think it is time to take a hard look at that front end again. (I'm bored) I welded in the TRF front stiffening plates and my shocks (Koni) and springs (competition) are all good. Just have some squeeks and rattles I don't like. I will take everything down and refinish the metal. Question: go back with rubber or try a new space-age bush. The rear is GoodParts Nyletron. I kinda am leaning towards stiffer bushes. The rack is newly rebuilt. Also, what about the changing the spindle to the heavy-duty available at TRF?

With Koni's and all that stiffer spring action, you really ~should~ use a stiffer set of bushings than what came standard. You will notice a handling difference. "Quicker" or "sharper" response would be one description. It'll ride a bit more harshly but with all you've done to this point I suspect ya won't object to that.
The beefy stub axles would be "gravy". Since you'll be close to 'em anyway, why not?

Bill,
I haven't tried the HD spindles.. Interesting upgrade, but since I don't race the thing I'm not sure how much benefit I would get.
I do recommend Nylatron over poly. My TR6 is "new car" tight and I haven't noticed anymore NVH than usual (I'm also running solid steering mounts and ploy diff mounts). Being that you like to drive a little aggresively, I figure you would like the instant response that you get from Nylatron.
Take care,
