I think hes happy with them, they solved the vibration problem. They are not as stiff as the AKG he gave up.
I'm glad to hear that the bushes solve that itch to do something since this could be one of the last mods for me in late 2013

Well, I'm sure it'll make another noticable difference once I go to coilovers, but thus far my mods have corrected the most glaring short comings of the stock suspension, especially if it's for a daily driver.
The nice thing is that you can make a pretty big change to the cars handling for a modest investment. -M3 (TRW) arms -$400 -E92 (or E93 for a vert) FSB - $300 -RSFB -$200 -Alignment - $100 -Front strut pin removal for better camber - Free So for a grand (if you DIY) you can make a pretty big change to the cars handling and in my opinion really transforms it. Much more so that $1000 set of coilovers, which I definitely don't want on my car. Given I'm not looking to lower the car for a few reasons, such as maintaining stock geometries, it's good for now. In a few months I'll be going to the Ohlins R&T and change out the rear control arms but feel as though I can now wait and get the good stuff instead of rushing in to something less expensive.

Props on the thread SteveAZ, I thought I was on to something uncharted when I found the whiteline "cross member bushings". I'm a subie guy so I've known whiteline forever. Good write-up, follow-up, and overall presentation!!!
