I also wouldn't bother with this mod if you're not a hardcore track guy. These will lead to a pretty noticeable increase in NVH. I would just get the bushing lockout kit from BMR instead.

This is FALSE. I had no increase in NVH. It was all upside, no downside, except labor time.

I wouldn't say it's false, I have no doubt that there is a measurable increase in NVH with the aluminum bushings versus the rubber bushings. The severity of the increase in NVH is subjective. The key here is if the occupants will notice the difference and if they feel that the trade-off is worth it.

A) They are indeed the same size as the Coupe (install completed)
B) TBD on track (The convertible is indeed referenced in the GMPP instructions)
