Thought it's 25mm front and 16mm rear.

Yeah, wasted bushings and mine had a broken rear spring!


Just a little more about suspension, there is a lot of other factors that will affect the NVH and feel of the car. Tire aspect ratio, alignment, springs and dampers.

With a slammed coilover car its gonna be more twitchy because the alignment is way out due to the lowered ride height. Low aspect ratio tires just compound the problem.


The setup I did is a good compromise. Front and rear control arms in poly, but use stock rubber on the rear subframe. Not much NVH, steering and ride isn't harsh, and I can tear up PA roads soaking up the bumps without any twitchyness or loss of control.

The real deciding factor on everything is what you are doing with the car. Full poly is nice on a track car or weekend warrior. Might be a little much on a commuter-which goes back to the setup I have. I do have a set of polyflex subframe bushings, but I haven't bothered installing them (long story, but I have new factory rubber ones in there now) Very happy with it.
