I am looking to get delrin bushings up front on my 2012 S197. I am looking at turning my stock arms with OE bushings into boss arms that will work with the Delrin Ford Racing bushing kit. Removing the OE bushings seems to just take heat, assorted cutting tools, time, anger, and a beer or two. I do have the ability to weld what would be needed to also do the rod end upgrade, but is this "required" is my real question. I somewhat understand the gains of changing the roll center, but I also know that was designed for a car that is not in full OEM trim with interior, etc, and I do not have a clue what the difference in CG is from a 302S to my car is. Sort of besides that, I am just a weekend warrior on 275 RS4's; I am not trying to set any records.
With that info, does anyone have any specific reason why this would be a poor idea? All I can think of would be an unintended failure mode of the rod ends due to increased forces/loads/vibrations from the more solid bushings in the arms, although less deflection may result in less "improper" or "unintended load? I am just not sure about this.
My main goal here is just to get the deflection of the front arms under braking better under control. I also need to find the write up that I hear is around here somewhere on someone doing this entire mod in case I do end up going that direction.
