      I've had PF & AKG. Unless your tracking/hardcore. Get the Powerflex ones hands down. PF install easier as well.

      I like the AKG's a lot though.

        I have the AKG 70A subframe bushings and 75D trailing arm bushings. No complaints so far. Had them on for about 8 months now.

          I did urethane TA bushings, but stock SF and diffy mounts.

          Firmer, a tiny bit harsher, but well worth it.

            I have used AKG subframe, diff, trailing arm, motor mounts, trans mounts, and LCABs on my old E30 and my E36. Used 75d on both as they both were/are auto-x cars and NVH wasn't an issue. Never have had a problem with them. They make a huge difference in the stability of the car (especially if you are replacing substantially worn parts.)

                should have used more lube when installing them.

                  yeah, I've had IE TA bushings since 2003 without a single sqeak.

                      PF and IE both have full lines of urethane. So do AKG.


                      I like rainbows, but by some freak of nature, all my bushings under the car are now red and match my H&Rs. I guess if I was to run over someone, and they liked color red, they'd be aesthetically pleased.

                              I just put the AKG 75ds in my car and its kind of "creeky"
                              Its hard to explain it doesnt squeek but makes this noise when you take off sometimes or go over bumps slowly. I had the IE Street Subframe ones in my old car with BMP TA bushings and they sounded pefect. Im not really happy with the AKG ones at the moment but ill give them a few more miles before I make a decision. Maybe ill take them apart and relube them when I have it apart again.
