which rear bushings?

[mano26]

Bear with me, I've never done suspension mods. Which rear bushings exactly should I have replaced? Trying to get rid of that floaty rear end feeling after ditching the run flats. Thanks!

rear subframe bushings. http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E82-135...ame/ES2538694/ which look like the beefier 4 in the linked set

Full M3 subframe bushings are best. Whiteline and Powerflex both make subframe bushing inserts that get you 80% of the way there, but not quite as stiff as the full replacement part.

I replaced my rear subframe bushings just today with Powerflex Black Series. I doubt that the M3s can be any stiffer. what a nightmare to install. M3 bushings are said to be installable without removing the subframe from the car. no chance whatsoever with the PF Blacks (and yes, i am experienced and i do have proper tools).
but by no means do i say the PFs are necessary, let alone better than the M3s, my comment is about the install, not about quality or performance.

Powerflex and Whiteline also make full polyurethane bushings. Some prefer poly, some like rubber (M3 bushings). So there several options to choose from.
