Professor, Urethane bushings are a wast of money. Once they move they don't return to original position like rubber.

Lots of warnings on the net about them. Tried them on the race car unusable after 3 weekends (would not hold shape).

Yep, but a bit harsh on a street car.

agreed, but those interested, powerflex has said they are looking at the 135i as a candidate for their bushings already
