Polyurethane Bushings

[e30sky]

New bushings are a good choice.

You should see if the suspension you're going to use recommends centered/offset. Ground control told me to use rubber offset e30 m3 cabs.

thanks, well to be honest i'll have to check on that. i am not doing no fancy coilover setup, which i would be glad to do but may cant afford it right now. So my choice is either koni's or bilstein with lowering springs. that's about it for suspension. so that is y i want to know if offset would be a gd choice or stick to the centered ones, also if i stick to th centered ones, is it ok to go poly also?

[Cletonius]

so then i guess the best choice is to go is centered poly bushes? is poly in centered or centered solid a gd choice?

go offset, if your on the street, install as directed. if your tracking, reverse the set up to make the car steer hard and quicker

Wat.

No.

Don't do that.

Subframe reinforcement plates on the motor mount tabs aren't a bad idea, but I have delrin mounts and stock subframe, it hasn't broken yet.

Thanks

I've heard they re designed the mounts so they don't rip, i like IEs poly motor mounts though they seem to be a great compromise

Thanks buddy, i will give them a try

I had rev shift motor mounts. and they broke in the second night (about 10-20 miles of hard driving)

I have IE poly in the rear, and love them!!!!

Thanks guys

Hey you guys thanks alot for all ur input, i appreciate all the opinions. i read tru everything and i am in a gd position to make my choice now. if i am correct i think in one of the thread link a guy recommend to me or it might have been right in here, they say if u r using the poly bushes throughout u will need to do reinforcement, can anyone shed a little light on that issue, also y i decided poly is because it still has a bit of flex to it unlike the solid bushes that condor offers.

if you have more to shed on the matter plz do, i appreciate it.

Thanks

If it's going to be a solid daily with the occasional autocross or track day, rubber is an ok choice too. I've been in cars with new rubber bushes and they're nice. Tbh anything is an improvement over used up 20 year old bushings.

This is true. You'll get 99% of the performance with no negatives in the way of 'ride comfort' reduction.

I have revshift rear trailing arm and subframe bushings. No complaints, except the shipping, that did take a while. Product is fine.

I really doubt on a mostly street car you'll notice a difference offset bushings or not. All the cool kids have them if that sways your decision.

Bilsteins are fine. I really don't know what that one guy meant by "outdated" but with almost any off the shelf spring they're fine at a good price point. If you ever need anything more than Bilstein Sports you'll already know what to look for.

well u see when i order it i may need it like next week or so because i want to finish things up a bit quick lol. i also looked into powerflex, seems gd and price isn't bad. wanted to go with condor speed but the car will not be a track car most of its time. My car is going to be my daily driver and from what i heard its not wise to use condor's product if ur car will be a dd.

I went with the GC street kit with their konis with 440/650 rates. I used revshift 80a bushings in back and OE M3 cabs (GC recommended OE rubber)

Revshift took a long time to ship but the product has been good so far. The car rides firm but not harsh or bouncy. Fit was ok but if you're going to use revshift I'd order it a month or so before you need it.

i saw revshift with their poly bushes so i was thinking the not too harsh one but rather the ones for street performance. so what u recommend, run stock bushes around and run the centered solid or poly control arm bushes? i have revshift in mind for poly and condor speed shop. From what i heard is that revshift is not so gd on service and whats not. u ever bought anything from them? if yes. what is your personal opinion on them

As I have just been looking into the exact same suspension overhaul project, I found a few good research threads.

Check out this thread, and make sure you click on the link in the second post. Both very informative threads for what you are looking for.
