Pfadt Aluminum Rear Subframe Bushings

Pfadt Aluminum Rear Subframe Bushings.
A little cosmetic issues from installation/removal, they are machined to fit very tight.
Less than 9000miles on them but, I can't see how that would matter anyway, they're machined solid aluminum.
Factory anodized orange.
SOLD.

I am looking to do the bushings but i am concerned about howthe ride will be. I know BMR makes bushings that arn't solid aluminum. How is the ride with these bushings. How were you able to take out the stock bushings without cutting into them to get them out?

First off, any aftermarket full bushing installation will require that the stock bushings be cut/pressed out.
If that isn't the route you want to go than I suggest inserts.
As far as the Pfadt bushing replacement inserts go, in my opinion the rear is too soft and sloppy and the only way to permanently eliminate that is by solidly mounting the subframe and dialing in the suspension.
Large soft bushings holding the subframe the suspension is mounted to is like have two suspensions and is fine for a Cadillac but, not what I find to be ideal for a performance car.
I preferred aluminum because once they are installed you'll never have to go back and check on them again, poly bushings will always need to be checked on for wear or damage and may need service to prevent squeaking noises.
Some points to ponder, do your research and pick whats best for you, good luck.

P.S. This isn't a sales pitch, the inserts are "sold" and I'm not a big Pfadt fan, actually I dislike the company very much but, they're subframe inserts, trailing arms, and tie rods are nice pieces.
