The problem with OE's is that I'll be kicking myself down the road if I throw another $1K plus for a manufacturer's planned obsolescence when I could've resolved it for posterity while improving the handling.

Are the M-coupe's comparably priced?
Yes, the m-coupe bushings are very reasonable. I've been tracking for 2 years with those and they are fine...

A serious point to make is that if you are going to upgrade the bushings on one of the rear suspension components, you should do them all with comparable bushings... i.e., don't just do the subframe bushings, do the RTABS and Diff with something similar... Otherwise you end up putting undue stress on other components..
