I installed them couple weeks ago and happy with the results. There is less body roll under cornering and have not noticed any nvh. I am pleased with them and easy to install using c-clamp and large socket to press the factory ones out.
I have looked at the bmr and map trailing arms but wouldn't be surprised if this bushing upgrade on a stock trailing arm can do as much for firming things up then those beefier trailing arms do using the stock knuckle bushing. If anybody has compared these 2 setups would be curious to what they thought and if upgrading trailing arms is worth it considering don't need the room for larger wheel/tire at this time.

Appears some of the tram-lining my car does with the 2.4 negative camber setting in the rear has diminished to almost nothing. I believe these bushings do help preserve toe settings under hard loading. Won't be at the track until Monday, however I can sense a difference in the way the rear of the car comes around even on the street.
