options for solid rear subframe bushings?
 
so... if it is your suspension that is supposed to do the up/down work, technically your car would handle/ride better if the subframe didnt move at all correct? then, what are some options for solid rear subframe bushings? the only ones I found so far after searching are these from TAP auto parts:

whiteline is a hard polymer but still does a better job than the OEM one it looks like...

These fit really good but taking the old bushings out is a real PITA. We ended up destroying them.

For what its worth, the Whiteline Rear Subframe inserts do a really wonderful job of tightening up the rear end. They're very easy to install as well.

Just a word of warning though, with the rear diff inserts, these inserts cause a lot of NVH. Way too much for a DD in my humble opinion. They'd probably be fine on their own.

I think I`ll pass on the diff inserts but still pursue the solid rear subframe bushings.

if you`re talking about the solid subframe bushings and not the whitelines, can you tell me where you got them from?
