Question Where to buy Whiteline poly FSB bushings?

I came across an old thread when DPE had these for sale:



As they're no longer in business, are there any other vendors that sell these Whiteline 27mm bushings for the stock/MS RX-8 FSB?

Thanks!

I'll call Whiteline if no one knows of any vendors. Your car looks great and obviously is a top performer, but I purchased my '06 2 weeks ago.

I think Global is the importer to the U.S. for all Whiteline stuff.

Thanks!
do you need bushings, or just want to get the yellow ones?

if you need bushings, autozone carries energy suspension bushings that has a greasable fitting retrofitted into the bracket for many swaybar applications.

Thumbs up

Thanks for the links and advice everyone. In the end, I decided to go with the Mazdaspeedstore that SouthFL linked.
I've ordered a set of Whiteline FSB bushings, and the total price came to $27.10 shipped to my door.

That is what you use right.... Hmmm, you just happen to be the only guy I know that has broken a swaybar bushing mount on the RX-8. Yep that sounds like a great part to buy.

Before posting this thread I searched and came across an old thread talking about the energy suspension bushings. It was mentioned in that thread that on one side of the car, the bushing was a little too wide and didn't fit perfectly.

When I read that, I decided then and there to get the whiteline pieces that use the factory brackets. I had a whiteline FSB and bushings on my former 2.5L WRX, and I know their products work well.
