Good stuff, it'll be interesting to hear if you notice much difference (Including road noise!)

Normally difference is hardly noticeable, but having in mind that 2 of the bushes was really damaged, small difference maybe can be sensed. Will give my Coupe some hard time tomorrow and will report.

Well i'm quite impressed, yesterday i did my simple "movement measure" test with one electrode mounted on the chassis sticked into small plasticine filled cup sticked to the rear subframe. Car behaves better under heavy braking and when turn sharply into the corner. Bought GoPro HeroHD few weeks ago, and i'll try to find suitable place to mount it and make some videos.

We made these, had already all front and rear bushes for Coupe(both wishbone bushes-front and rear), however i want to complete the final test of the rear subframe bushes with our trackday Alfa 145 this 22th january when we have 3 hours endurance race, in order to complete almost 1 year with this bushes, before they can be offered for sale. That's how we proceed with every new poly bush we made.

HI
just done the bushes in my subframe , and looking at the pictures , there is no washer being fitted between the top of the bush and the frame of the car, is that right? I only ask as there was one on the OE bush.
thanks Yes, no washers.
