Fact:
2002 Z06
Have VBP poly bushings on A-arms and they are squeeking!!!
Autocross the car 6-10X/year and drive on street.

Question:
Add Zirk fittings to existing VBP bushings or replace bushings with Del-a-lum bushings?

Most poly bushings are crap. I know a lot of guys that paid a lot of money only to have them wear out and deteriorate faster than rubber. Yeah, they're stiffer, but they are noisy and it's hard to find quality build that lasts.

I would get rid of the poly while you have the inclination, and install Delrin bushings. VBP should sell it for your car.

"Del-A-Lum works like a bearing but it�s a bushing! Del-A-Lum bushings are a direct replacement for rubber or polyurethane control arm bushings. They are perfect for street or race applications. Del-A-Lum bushings feature inner and outer thrust washers, inner rotating sleeve and lube fittings. This unique design provides smooth performance without squeaks or bind. Designed to last over 100,000 miles. Del-A-Lum bushings on the street or the track will give you optimum performance and control."
