subframe bushings for Coupe GT???
what are my options? I could order the stock replacements from Blau, or I could go with the 034motorsport aluminum bushings.
Though my question is:
will the 4000Q bushings fit the Coupe GT subframe?
I'm a bit hesitant to order the bushings from 034 motorsport, since there is a chance they would not fit. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Also, can anyone confirm that they are safe to use? I heard that they could cause a crack of the subframe or mounting points, since they have no "give"...
thanks in advance for you input

Anything you order from 034 will fit.
If you give them the correct info. I personally wouldn't use aluminum...I wouldn't want my suspension that stiff given the roads here and I don't track the car.
Should be much cheaper options around other than Blau as well... check your favourite WorldPac site and World Impex..

Re: Anything you order from 034 will fit.
thanks for the input. Yes, I'm a bit hesitant to put aluminum bushings, but on the other hands, it's just a subframe. There are still bushings in the control arms, that would soften the setup and transmission mount...
anyway, I looked at WorldPac and World Impex, they don't have subframe bushings.
Actually I was only able to find a full set on Blau's site...
Autohaus in AZ has only front subframe bushings...
if anyone could add, where else I could get those rubber pieces, that would be great

I have the 034 "offset" versions, they work, but keep the rubber in your a-arms
Depending on the year of car, you might have the smaller bushings in the rear, I do, and they had to make a special set for me. You'll also have to file the back hole of the subframe to clear the bolt, not a big deal, you can do the install in about 4-5 hours.
BTW, the offset bushings will add 2deg of positive caster and keep the car from pulling under full throttle. It'll also tighten up turning quite a bit!
