    Hey guys had my z for a while now, the times cone for a rwc. From looking at the car the bushings have gone in the front torsion arms. What are my best options? I've been looking at the adjustable ones but I've heard that there not road legal?

    So yea I'm lost on this, care to help out? Cheers :D

    You can get poly bushings for ~$100 from Repco. Most legal way and probably cheapest way.

    Rose jointed tension rods are legal depending on how you read the rules ;)

    Haha might try the new bushing option. Unless you can find me a machanic in melbourne that thinks rose joints are legal ;)

    Um first i've heard of them being illegal.....

    I had pillow-ball/Rose-Joints on my rear upper control and toe rods. Bassed RWC fine in Ballarat at Mr.Brakes (but dont go there cause they suck).

    do yourself a favour. rebush the stock arms. they will last probably 15 years. Rose joints are not suitable for road cars.

    I can say that almost every zed ive worked on with rose jointed suspension has play in the joints
