    Alum subframe / delrin diff bush set or standard rubbers?

    I'm having trouble deciding between the Turner racy pair or standard BavAuto rubber units. I want to track this car and this seems to be a nice thing to hold the rear alignment constant which seems vital to getting traction at the rear wheels. I don't know if I want to spend 200 dollars instead of just 65 though. Is it a night and day kind of difference or would a dual street / track car be better off spending somewhere else?

    AKG has a huge selection for around $120

    They also have a super useful material FAQ when it comes to bushings, definitely read it

    Materials Chart. We provide both hard durometer polyurethane and aluminum bushings for race cars.




    They are one of the oldest supplies of aftermarket e30 bushings, with many many choices.
    Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

      I wouldn't put solid bushings in any street car, ever.

      I am a fan of the poly subframe, trailing arm, and diff bushing upgrades though.

      I've run IE bushings in many cars and been happy with them. Going to try Powerflex in my M-Tech this time though.

        Its only as strong as its weakest link, make those solid the energy has to go somewhere, so where it goes is what will break.

          Okay, so what are the people with proper rubber and the ability to actually drive breaking in the rear?
