wow, IE trailing arm bushings fit like doo dooI

[e304me]

just cant get over how bad these fit. It seems like the metal sleve is shorter than the bushings, so the more it is tightened the more friction is induced into the suspension. On top of that, the lip of the bushings wont sit flat against the trailing arm if you want it to still fit in to the subframe. Im thinking of dropping 100 on the akg motorsport ones jst to make myself feel better and safer. Thoughts?

Pics? I just bought them as well but havn't installed the yet. They're black right?

[e304me]

it wont let me attach pictures?

Mine are older and they are the red ones. Maybe they changed their design? did yours come straight from ireland engineering?

Man, I am glad to see you guys posting this...I am just about to order those!
If you can't get pics to work here, would you email them to me?

Thanks!

I have the black version, and I am about to go install them today. I will take pics also and let you know if they suck.

I've got the black ones in my car, I noticed no problems at all with them. I purchased them directly from ireland about 1.5 years ago.

subscribed, I'm in the air IE vs Turner delrin trailing arm bushings

[e304me]

here are the ones i have. the lip of them wont sit flat on either trailing arm, in either spot.



do the ones you guys have look much different? these look to be 10x better, though they cost 100

I have the black poly ones. I ordered them through BMA for $50 for the set. I have a spare subframe and TAs that I am going to use, but it just started raining so I might not get the pics today.

do they look like those black ones with 2 lips? those ones i posted are from akg motorsport

[trashcop 80s 80s]

They look just like the AKG ones but not as shiny. BMA part number
E30TRLARMBUSHGKIT $51 for all four

I also ordered the green subframe bushings through BMA

E30URETHANEREAR $89 for both

so you are sure they have 2 lips like the akg ones or do they just have one like the pic M3fan4eva posted?

[MikesJo]

The ones I have from IE (bought through BMA) look like the black shiny ones you have with two lips, one lips is 2x the opposite end. The finish is also matte, not glossy like the pic you posted e304me.

I received mine last week from BMA along w/ the green subframe bushings :).

I have the red ones, I put them in the TA and just cutoff what was needed to make them fit snuggly. haven't had any problems.
