Two things quit SHOUTING turn off that !##$@*!! Caps Lock.

I would have to disagree that by replacing the subframe bushings you 
would tear up the other bushings.  To the contrary, by reducing the 
subframe movement your are asking all the other bushings to move less in 
relation to the subframe reducing the stress's of the other bushings.  As 
for the increase in control "Only be felt on the track" would have to 
disagree with you on that one.  Lock the subframe to the chassis (Where 
the rack is mounted) and the steering becomes "Precise". It's just not 
for the track, BTDT NJTH.  Kinda why they are included in my suspension 
kit....

Later!
