For anyone driving their car on the street, i would not recommend solid diff bushings. Maybe a hard poly, but solid will drive ya nuts. Both my E90 and E46 m3's had solid diff bushings and the sounds those cars made were quite alarming.

That is the ONLY thing I miss about my previous M3 so far, is that solid rear-end feel it had.

The 1LE is SOOOOO much more of a complete car than my M3 ever was, but if I have one complaint about my 1LE, it is the rear-end side movement when doing any aggressive lane changes or any kind of transition maneuvers, the rear-end moves around way too much back there, enough that is requires steering corrections to keep a line and makes the car feel a little unstable and not very precise feeling.

Now to be fair, I have no clue what the stock factory alignment looks like and I have heard they can be pretty far off from the factory. So I have no clue if the rear-end movement is being caused from the cradle bushing deflection or a bad alignment, but in either case, I will be having the track alignment settings done after the solid cradle bushing install is done.

The 12th can not get here fast enough.
