think i need new bushings... which are best

So out of the blue the other day my bushings seem to have gone to ****. When i brake you can see the legs pull back in the forks, the left one does it alot worse than the right so that my tire actually turns when i brake even though the bars are straight. I was looking and saw there are both derlin and bronze aftermarket ones around. Which are best, which last longer? I was thinking bronze being metal will last but its a soft metal so....

Delrin is the way to go, bronze will wear the plating off the fork leg. Got um in stock on special for stuntlife members. 30 bucks to your door. Just call Mark at 50stunt.com if you are interested. It will solve your problem.

EBAy ones may be good but look at the prices man 50 stunt is 30 shipped... ebay is 28 unshipped i bet they charge another 5 dallorsfor shipping. so your getting better quality at a better rate...
