Also apparently after install your suspension will sit 2-3mm higher

I'm currently tossing up between powerflex full replacement bushings and m3 ones. I've had urethane before and i like the ride comfort, plus it's a little stronger... And same price or so.. Just never really heard of the company lol

How about you refer to e9x m3 forums and see if there are any reviews of upgraded/after market sub-frame bushings

PS: BMW makes Race bushings, Turner sells them at 800 for the whole set :S
