Paul did you fit urethane bushes?
Off topic.... Did you paint the swing arm or powder coat it?
I fitted standard bushes. I did some searching for urethane or 'performance bushes' for the GTS and couldn't find consistent recommendation or the right product, from memory. Also when searching for GTR engine mount bushings there were some negatives about urethane. The new bushes were probably part of the 'snappy' feeling when the shocks were first in. Now they've settled down/bedded in, the ride is better. I haven't yet tried the other two tighter settings on the Carbone shocks yet though.
I cleaned up/wire brushed and painted the swing arm with a VHT brand Epoxy paint designed for car parts like suspensions arms etc. Went on well, need to inspect it after 6 months to see how it faired. I have a 'back end' job to do to rust treat the inner rear frame, so will wrap in exhaust repaint, swing arm inspect, Dinitrol waxing etc all together...sometime...
