It's all a personal preference, and also if your arms will accept the factory style bushings. They would have to have grooves for the clips if you went with the factory style. I personally run the Delron bushings due to ease of using them. I can put them in and take them out faster than anything else. You do have to ream certain ones out though. I keep mine greased and usually get a season out of them, XC racing. ARS/FX arms use a fiberglass bushing that lasts a lot longer than the Delron, but they are a different size, or I would have them instead.

If you got 5 years out of your stockers, I'd put another set of stockers on if it was me. Honda makes/sells some really quality bearings/bushings.

Just my 2 cents.
