Wheel to wheel measurements

[Mhorn0817]

The car doesn't get raced or tracked, the wife drives it more then i do and it doesn't see many miles. So I was thinking the bmr poly or prothane poly subframe bushings.

In that case the poly's should be good. If your wife drives the car a LOT, she might not like the "new" noises and harshness of the solids. But they ARE tight!! lol.

She probably wouldn't like it but it would probably bother me more. The car only sees about 50 miles a week so it's not driven alot. The car tracking and wandering bothers me more then her so I want to narrow that down.

Think I can get away with the prothanes or should I just get the BMRs? $120 different

"Tramlining" is what that wandering is called. What size and width wheels and tires are you running? If you are not stock than some of that will occur with wider wheels and tires, and pressures being run. Mine does it.. And the alignment is spot on too.

That choice would be up to you. Both are quality products. Most folks like the BMR, but others use the Prothane's..50/50...

Wheels and tires are stock sizes.

It seems like bmr is nicer but wasn't sure if they were noticably different then the prothanes. Amazon has prothanes for $160 shipped. Amazon has bmr for 287 shipped

The other thing that will cause the car to "wander" is the wear tracks in the roads since you have stock wheels and tires. Some of the roads I travel daily have more wear to them in the right lane than others do, and some are smooth and it doesn't do it. Good luck with your choice of bushings.
