Default Rear solid subframe bushing install vids

Working on some install vids for the solid aluminium subframe spacers to better explain how to put them on.

I really really really like this. I'm just concerned on how stiff this'll make the ride for a daily driven SC...

I actually did, I thought it was much easier to drop the complete rear end to install them, then being under the car.

It will night and day difference man. More stiffer, better response in the cornering and so on. It was worth to me. I drive mine maybe 3 times a week or less. I replaced them all at once. MAJOR IMPROVEMENT, I used Daizen bushings. Bought them from TM Engineering when they were opened. Thats how long ago it has been.

I'd get polyurethanes in a heart beat, I've had nothing but great experience with my polyurethane bushings for the entire control arms, but this one is billet aluminum right?

Most of the guys I've seen running these are tracking their cars wouldn't you say?

For my application, which is primarily trying to go fast and straight would this be of much help for reducing wheel hop? Or is this primarily just to keep the suspension tighter.

I'd rather not make the car drive louder and increase vibration and not see an improvement.

Curious as to who has this and their car is primarily street driven? Thinking of getting a set but I know xpsi6 is working on poly ones.
