" the other bushings I was referring to were the rear differential cross members bushings. The "15 min mod" found on here stiffens up the wear from the cushion plates in the rear cross members,but there is also a bushings that is pressed into each side of the cross members. I noticed from you pictures that you have not done the 15 min mod, most of us suggest you do
I have kartboy poly bushings in place of the "15 minute mod" and in those 4 subframe mount locations.

These are in the 4 subframe mounts http://turninconcepts.com/product_in...roducts_id=627

These are in the 2 diff outrigger bushings (15 minute mod). There are actually 2 bushings on each side with this, one above and one below the OEM bushing. http://turninconcepts.com/product_in...roducts_id=186

And these are in the 2 rear diff bushings http://turninconcepts.com/product_in...roducts_id=629

My rear end is locked down, there will be no extra movement from any point back there anymore. And based on the impreza I've done this treatment to there really wont be anymore NVH either, all of that will come from the group N engine and tranny mounts and all the shifter bushings. It will be good NVH though, because it will be from a supercharger and 6MT.
