Default Supplemental bushings?

Finally got my vehicle history report from a very nice member of TBSSowners.com who works at a dealership.

It shows that this was done:

01/29/2009 108721 ZREG----Regular Vehicle Transaction H9711 - Frame, Rear Supplemental Bushings - Install 64,752 MI

Are these the updated cradle bushings for the wheel hop issues?

I haven't done any clutch dumps (out of fear) and haven't noticed any wheel hop in my "spirited" driving sessions.

Also, on a side note and since I mentioned it. The creator of TBSSowners.com just bought a V2 and is now creating a CTSVowners.com. If it's anything like his TBSSowners.com it's going to be an awesome site.

It's actually a supplement bushing meaning you retain your stock bushings and these little nylon or delrin inserts get pushed in the air gaps of the stock bushing to try and tighten up the *** end. Specter bushings are about the same thing only a little better. I think they fit 04-06. 07 had a weird bushing that had no air gaps.
