[s-cars] Anybody have a source for "stock" rear subfame bushings

[Mike Fitton]

Technically the C4 rear subframe mounts aren't available separately from 
the whole subframe.  Technically the C3 rear subframe mounts are.  
Possibly, they'll fit.  Picture in ETKA looks about the same, but I 
don't think I've heard this confirmed/denied by someone who actually 
tried it.  Just formatted and haven't reinstalled ETKA yet, so I don't 
know the part number off hand.  I seem to recall the guy who runs 
www.blauparts.com had some somethings to make it happen, but don't 
recall all the details.

FWIW, I have the aluminum mounts and have been pleased.  There's plenty 
of other rubbers back there to soak up vibration (much to my own 
dismay).  I think the most crucial player in this regard is the front 
mount on the lower control arm...that guy bypasses the subframe and 
hooks up straight to the unibody (the only suspension/drivetrain mount 
in the back half of the car to do such a thing).  BTW, $255 each on 
those guys last I checked.  Oooo, a rubber bushing bonded to the inside 
of a simple steel bracket...yeah, that's a fair price.  But, I digest...

-Cheers!
