Thanks.. 95a for me!

Btw.. I just pressed out the factory bushing in 10 minutes so this should be a very easy swap for you guys to do or the shop you are paying for the install..

No clue.. Its has gaps and isnt solid so aside from the softer durometer it flexes a lot..

GMG's are 90A, in case anybody is wondering.

Honestly, even 75A would be a huge improvement over stock, for any application, street or track.

I'd probably say those who daily drive and track heavily might actually like the 75A better. Sometimes the stiffest isn't always the best for these high NVH mounting points. For reference, 75A is about the stiffness of a men's shoe heel, 95A is almost hard hat stiff.

I remember once I put 75D shore subframe bushings in my M3, it went from occasional street car to track ONLY.

Keep in mind when TS was filling these it was 75a and the vibration was not very noticeable either..

Count me in on the group buy for the 75A. Will be getting the RSS semi engine mounts so this makes sense to cover the other end as well.
Great post with great information.

So is M3evobr organizing a group buy or is Eddie-RPW? I'm confused (as usual).

Anyone tested the risk of voiding factory warranty with this trans mount mod?
