When I bought my GT it already had the Moss coil-over conversion kit. But, the lower bushings are absolutely shot. Apparently this is a known issue. So much so that when I called them, they dropped a pair of new bushings in the mail immediately. Free. They are working on a new bushing source and said they'd call me when they the get the new bushings in. Until then, at least I'll have new, crappy bushings to replace the old, collapsed crappy bushings.
If you have the same problem, call them. Get your free crappy bushings.

Never got my free crappy bushings after registering a complaint with Moss, but on forum advice from others in the same boat, I replaced the Moss bushings with Energy Suspension part 9-9105G.
These are higher durometer than the original Moss bushings and this is the first driving season for these, so can't comment on the long term suitability/reliability.
Got my free crappy bushings in the mail yesterday, top and bottom. I'll go ahead and install them. Because they're free and it doesn't look like that big of a job. And they should at least last through Indy.
Alan,
Don't count on it! I got 400 miles out of mine. For the $20 or $30 order up the three sets of 9-9105G from Energy, yes three as you need to cut one set to get the full width needed for the bottom if my memory serves me correctly. No point pulling it all apart again in the fall or spring is there?
Yeah, I see your point Mike. Just a little itchy to get rid of the shudder. To cut one set, as you say, then are you using the original barrels and just usnig the rubber bits from the Energy kit?
Yes the metal barrel is reused. One set of the Energy bushing is cut just to make up enough width to cover the centre portion on the bottom pin. Most speed shops seem to have these bushings on the shelf.
