Thanks guys - from an offroad perspective I'd go urethane anyway, but this is for a mate's Formula Vee - not sure why he's going down that path,
although I suspect he's attempting to get the front suspension more reactive - urethane and rubber have some "lag" time associated with them which
I wouldn't have thought would be ideal for circuit work.
Thanks anyway.
Cheers ... Kimbo

That price is better than they were 10 years ago. Dont go urethane, the friction when tight makes the suspension hard and non reactive for street, and
if loose for softness, the play in the arms is not acceptable, the orig is the way to go.
