    Best cab bushings

    Opinions? I used to run powerflex on my e39 and e36 and loved them... Any other ideas?

    At 63k miles, I was WAY overdue for new CABs. Went with Meyle HD version because they are rubber, are pre-pressed into new brackets, include new mounting bolts, and supposedly last much longer than the OE. Huge improvement over worn OE bushings.

    If you also need control arms, ecstuning sells a kit that includes Meyle aluminum control arms with replaceable ball joints and the HD bushings. $350. Bavauto sells a kit using those same Meyle arms with Powerflex bushings. $510.

    Best for what???? Daily driving? Tracking/autocross?

    Meyle HD FCABs are a comparable OE upgrade that lasts significantly longer, which is why I went with them. Coupled with the Meyle HD control arms, it's a great replacement.
