Condor speed bushings too stiff for street car?

[grinchxvx]

Too stiff for the street is pretty subjective. I'm fairly conservative so I don't think we should replace rubber bushings with solid pieces of metal or plastic on street cars. That will transmit forces directly to the next weakest link. However, I do think an upgrade from rubber is a good compromise.

What else is there? Poly?

I don't think I would mind the vibrations honestly, just makes it feel my racey which is kind of what I'm looking for.

I'm going to rate transmission mounts as the mount/bushing that adds the most NVH when it is solid. Not sure I'd be opposed to much else.

I guess RTABs are the only other thing I have that aren't completely solid in one way/shape/form

Its stiff, I have the full kit in my car

You'll feel every road imperfection and if your wheels are a tiny bit off balance. If you don't mind that go for it.

Not that big of a deal, seems like there is nothing as cheap and good that can compete. Powerflex and IE are both more for less bushings in their kits

Just picked up a tired e30 turbo and amongst the things that need love is the suspension. I've heard great things about the condor speed bushings but are they pretty much just like running solid aluminum units? The car is going to be my daily eventually but I don't mind a stiff/harsh ride as long as it's not over the top. Every bushing and suspension part will be gone over and checked/replaced. The goal with this car is a clean fast street car that handles super well. I've previously owned e36 and e46 m3's and would like to outdo the handling and feel of these cars if possible.
