Default Stock independent bushings

Last time I had indys I had them with red Khiro barrels, which for a fatso like me were fairly soft. Someone stole them and I just bought some new 149 Stage 10s mailorder, but I forgot to order bushings. I could instantly buy some red Khiro barrels so they'd be here when the trucks get here, but how are the stock bushings? Any good?

Indys stock bushings tend to be on the soft side(at least in the 129`s)
so they may not be perfect for you. Try Bones Hardcores instead btw, way better than Khiro`s.

I've always liked the stock Indy orange bushings, relatively hard but pretty reboundy. I like them way better than red Khiros. If you're going to replace the orange Indy bushings, go with something high end like Stims, Venoms or bushings cut from good wheels. Venoms will fit Indys but you'll need to upgrade to a longer kingpin, which you should do anyway. I agree also on Bones Hardcores, which won't require a kingpin upgrade. Sadly, Indy replacement bushings are nothing special.

Check 'em first.

There are many Stage10s with crap stock bushings. By crap, i mean they're cracked, and the 'thane are..weird..
