    But to the topic, I'd recommend OEM Lemforder TAB's, and your choice of poly subframe bushings. I went with AKG. The OEM TAB's are very stiff rubber, I don't see a huge benefit to going poly there.

    I don't think UHMW (Condor) belongs on a street car where NVH is even remotely important. I tried UHMW, both as motor mounts and trans mounts, and it was insane. With the trans mounts, I couldn't even hear myself think. Not sure how they'd do for trailing arm and subframe bushings, but I wouldn't go that route personally.

    So your saying the best would be lemforder rtabs and some r3v shift subframe mounts would get me where I want? Now I know this is the wrong section but what about shock mounts should I go with ones with a poly center or just some e46 m3 cabrio ones. I am running Koni sports of that matters.

    Revshift also makes poly bushings. dont go OEM rubber. unless you drive like a 150 yr old person going to church and back.

    We warranty our parts for life. We make all of our parts ourselves from the best materials available. We offer three hardnesses of polyurethane.
