Sway bars transmit cornering forces from the outside wheels to the inside wheels, helping to keep the vehicle flat during cornering. This, in turn, reduces body roll and improves the driver's cornering confidence. OEM rubber sway bar bushings are designed with comfort in mind, allowing the sway bar to articulate while permitting additional movement, leading to less-than-ideal bar retention and causes unnecessary body roll.
Powerflex polyurethane sway bar bushings are firmer than factory rubber bushings, reducing body roll and keeping sway bars in check. Polyurethane bushings won't slop around like OEM bushings, allowing sway bars to function at their fullest potential.

Tasked with keeping the vehicles rear end firmly mounted while absorbing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) factory rubber subframe bushings were engineered to provide a balance of control while keeping the ride quality soft and supple. As a factory bushings age, they become brittle and begin to harden. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow excess play, or movement in the subframe. This is typically felt by a sudden jerk or "thunking" noise under acceleration and is a leading cause of "sloppy" or "loose" suspension feel. By replacing the bushings with full polyurethane this play is eliminated since the subframe is being held in place by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. Additionally, the inherent stiffness of the urethane material translates body forces much more directly. This means steering and acceleration inputs from the driver are effectively transferred to the wheels and vital road information is transmitted properly from the wheels to the driver.
Powerflex street bushings are ideal for street driven vehicles and those that see occasional autocross or track time. Need bushings for a dedicated track car? Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane bushings offer a supreme level of control, while still providing enough comfort for the street, with advanced polyurethane that reduces NVH that often accompanies lesser bushings. Expect improved steering feel, turn in, more responsive handling and overall improved chassis composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm bushings.

Want the best performance option in shock tower mounts? IRP has created their pillow-ball rear shock mounts for just this need. These rear shock mounts are designed for use on the track and racing. This set of mounts will help your rear shocks perform the best they can in all conditions. The advantage to using a mount with spherical bearing is that it allows the shock to freely move off axis without side loading the shock shaft like rubber or polyurethane mounts do. Side loading a shock increases stiction and wear which decreases its efficiency. Because these are mounts without an isolator (rubber or polyurethane) to dampen road noise and vibrations we do not recommend them for street cars.
The bearing sleeve and poly bushing are built to work with all stock style shocks such as Bilstein and H&R coilover and suspension kits.
Fits the following BMW chassis:
E36 BMW All Submodels except for 318ti
E46 BMW All Submodels
E30 BMW All Submodels
E36 Z3 BMW All Submodels

When high torque loads and aggressive corner exits push your chassis to the limit, stock differential mounts quickly become the weak link. The ECS Tuning Rear Differential Front Mount Upgrade Kit is track-engineered to lock down your rear diff, control axle wrap, and ensure immediate power delivery to the pavement.
Built to withstand severe track abuse, this kit eliminates hardware failure by replacing the undersized factory M12 bolt with an ultra-high-tensile Grade 12.9 M14x1.5 bolt. Surrounding the upgraded hardware is a track-spec 95A durometer red polyurethane bushing and a rugged 6061-T6 aluminum sleeve finished in Type II black anodizing. Engineered for maximum drivetrain stiffness, this upgrade ensures your differential stays precisely aligned under the harshest motorsport conditions.
Note: Upgrading to M14x1.5 hardware requires drilling and tapping the original M12x1.5 differential mounting hole. See T#58563042 for a complete kit that includes the proper-sized drill and tap.
