Advice on lowering my Monte

Have you tried delrin yet? I haven't. My friend bought a race car with delrin bushings and didn't like it. Thought it had a bit of stiction to it so he tossed them in favor of spherical.
I have them on the front a-arms for my 64 C10 (Porterbuilt narrowed arms) as well as on the front uppers & lowers going under my 'Bu (SPC & Speedtech). Neither are ready for the road.

I have Delrin bushings on the Porterbuilt front lower a-arms of my Squarebody dually w/OE GM 63 -87 HD rubber lined metal bushings for the front uppers, & spherical joints on the rear 4-bar. No complaints w/that combo @ all. *Think of the rubber-lined screw style metal bushings as the 50/60's version of Delrin.

I seek high durometer rubber where possible for bushings. I feel Delrin works great for things that pivot/rotate on a single axis but can be harsh for some applications.

While I like the spherical joints (Spohn units) under my dually, I'm switching from Currie True-Trac spherical joint style C4L rear arms to Detroit Speed Swivel Links for my 'Bu.
