True on both counts.

I was going to get Meyle HD since I like the sounds of a solid rubber bushing as opposed to fluid filled stock bushings, but you're right, with about the 100k miles you get out of a stock set, not like I'd be servicing them again anytime soon.

This may be totally different, but on my vws, replacing the sloppy motor mount voids with polyurethane inserts (of the right durometer of course), extremely increased the "solid shifting feel" of a manual trans car, as well as made the front end more planted while driving, no increase in NVH.

Besides being somewhat stiffer, I was just posting this to beg the question of whether these "powerflex clones" could still be 2x a better bushing than the oem? I can't see any advantage to using them, unless buying a set gave you a specialty tool rental. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but you still need the specialty tool to extract the original bushings right?
