[QUOTE="cempaka, post: 398354, member: 7014"] I'm using Powerflex purple subframe, rear trailing arm, and diff bushings. Definitely feels much tighter after install, even though the old ones were still in decent shape. I didn't really notice much difference in comfort as my ride is already quite stiff and Powerflex purple are actually relatively soft compared to some others, 80A durometer. [IMG]http://www.akgmotorsport.com/images/hardnesschart.jpg[/IMG] Superpro seems to be around 80A-90A. It's important to know the durometer rating for the specific bushing you're buying as manufacturers usually have different lines for street and track/race. Dedicated track cars often use 75D or higher,but stiffer is not necessarily better for street cars.
