Anyone running this set up?

http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-1074- ... e-e30.aspx

Got an unfitted set with the car I just bought, any feedback would be great before I decide whether to fit.

Thanks.

I would not use those on a road car......the original ones are rubber for a reason....

Sorry I should have said - it's a stripped track car, no carpet, no heater, plastic windows etc.

Have the rear sub frame and diff mounting points been reinforced ?

Nope - I'm assuming you've used this kit then?

What's your experience with it, was it worth fitting?

No.

These sort of things can not be used in isolation, they have to be used along with other modifications to the bodywork.

Thanks, but I'm looking for advice from people who have experience of using the said parts and whether they are worth fitting.

I dont need experience, i know that solid rear beam bush's should not be used unless the mounting points have been reinforced.

They will make the rear end feel a little tighter due to the reduction in movement of the rear end...BUT you must make regular checks of the mounting points for stress cracks...
