I've got new stock ones, but I can get polyurethane ones made from a supplier in Sydney? The softest is 82 durometer. Aside from the increase in transmitted road noise and vechile harshness, any other downsides to such an upgrade? I know it's very rare on an e34.

Kris mate, only the other suspension components will wear off quicker. You can always reduce tire pressure by 1-2 psi to conpensate for normal ride comfort.

It will put a big grin in your face at Wakefield, I tell ya!. So much more solid feel and more confidence in the front end makes a great deal of difference in taking high-speed turns with high accuracy. Makes the front really hang on in there.

I switched stocker to 750 greenies and that made a difference. Me mate used polyu and said thats even better!. Go for it!.

Frankie, I am talking about the subframe bushings, not the thrust arm bushings. I found a cool e28 link here, all you want to know about them.
