Excellent. But I was much more excited at how the whole subframe wasn't sliding sideways during turns.
For anyone reading this, in my opinion, you should never consider the 80A option for this kit. 95A is what I'd consider minimum hardness for control arm and subframe bushings. Only consider 80A bushings for cases where you're directly attached something to a piece of rotating machinery (i.e.: the motor mounts and the transmission mount).

You're probably better off having me ship them to you, despite the short distance. Work is nuts right now and I'm only home for a couple of hours before having to hit the sack.

Everyone makes red bushings and we don't want to be like everyone else. We really like how the green bushings look. And plus, green means go! 
If you call your order in or place an order then send us an email with which hardness you want for specific bushings we can customize your order. We could put a bunch of options on the website so that you could pick each hardness but we feel it would overly complicate things.
I look forward to doing business with you.

I guess what I'm suggesting is that you could consider the subframe in the same category as the motor mounts and transmission support. I get that your comment was for the whole kit now, but do you think the subframe bushings in 80A standalone are a waste as well or is your assertion based on the rest of the kit offered in this thread?

Not to be completely obtuse, but isn't the subframe basically non-moving? so harder bushings on the pivot points and whatnot but wouldn't the subframe movement be similar to the engine or transmission movement and not the rotational movement of the control arms, toe rods, and whatever else? I know it rocks a little more but it seems mechanically similar to me to the engine mount at the front of the car but with less weight and 4 mounting points. That's from a pure visualization standpoint though. I guess what I'm suggesting is that you could consider the subframe in the same category as the motor mounts and transmission support.

I did. It rocks up and down a lot. It is intended to be non-moving, as in it it not a pivot. It's not a link. It's a mechanical isolation for vibration.
The stock movement is in the direction of the voids (0 hardness-no material) in the original bushing. I'm wondering if the difference in hardness matters as much on those as it would on the others. I just don't think the 80A bushings are going to move that much more than the 95A ones in that particular application. I get the rotational and 90 degree torque issues on the trailing arms, control arms and whatever. I'm asking fuzzy if his statement on this group-kit is due to that. I just see the cradle bushings more in the application sense as similar to the engine and transmission mounts. Not so much the same idea as a rotating link, that's all. They are there to be stationary. Not to control allowed movement.
