sounds good. i think i'll go in that direction.

i was looking at pictures and i was wondering if anyones filled the gaps with urethane before? the rears definitely have gaps but the front i cant tell from the pics ive seen. (trying to plan this out without dropping that whole thing.

just weighing options

I have the supplemental bushings for the diff ears, I am considering filling the rear diff bushings with urethane - I am still battling wheel hop.

Definitely got some gear noise once I put the diff ear bushings in.

I do have 30mm RCA's with bilstein PSS coilovers.

How much of a pain were the megan bushing inserts? I haven't really heard anybody use them. I have been interested in those.

i had that same type on my 240 for a while before i switched to solids. but theyre super easy. loosen the subframe and pop the tops on (theyre slotted). the bottoms you just remove a bolt and slip the collar on. easy easy

Yup Super easy, except I couldn't get the front lower ones in so I put the upper one in and later once they are compressed a bit I hope to get the lowers in.

I would NOT want solid ones in my GS - the inserts are just right, offering a bit of stiffness but not too much.
