I've had the Powerflex centered control arm bushings on mine for a couple of years now. The installation was pretty easy as you can squeeze them in with just a vise. They were a bit squeaky for the first couple of months even with the lubricant they provided with them, but that's gone away now. The steering response is definitely better, but they do make impacts with potholes and rough road surfaces much harsher it seems. I haven't done anything with the rear of the it, but I do have the AKG rear subframe bushings in an E30. I don't know if I'd describe the way they feel in that car as twitchy like Steven feels in his, but they definitely transmit more noise into the car. The diff and the wheel bearing are clearly audible, but the E30 subframe bolts go directly into the passenger compartment, so it might not be as bad on a ti.
