JimZ bushings are among the best. Karrots are very nice as well.

Stack a bunch of flat washers. It's a new DH trend. Zero wobble...

Oh, and what he ^^^^^^^^ said.

jimzs, ultra soft khiros, pink abec11, venoms.

not pumpkins, not anything harder than blue khiros.

khiros are the retarded bushing child, if you can afford it, get something better.

oh yeah those radikal bushings are pretty sick.

depends on your weight and what kind of ride you're lookin for...if ur using it for DH, id recommend black jimz if ur my weight (165) or heavier. unless u want softer bushings, then go for ze white.

I use pink Karrot stims/JimZ bottoms in the Comp 2's for DH. Granted, I'm 120lbs. So if you can, get yourself a handful of bushings and experiment.
