thanks for the advice....got the pics and the design of the 325 ones are slightly different...the material used could be slightly harder too....here are the pics...the one on the top is standard 318i and the bottom is 325i uprated ones...

Suspension / 325i control arm bush

« on: April 22, 2007, 11:30:55 PM »

the e30 restoration bible says that there are two types
1)standard 318i - 31 12 9058 815
2)up-rated 325i - 31 12 9058 931

i was just curious cause i just changed mine to the full solid ones(non offsentric) and the ride seems to be quite harsh..but it did improve the steering feel and braking....i just want to know if anyone have used the 325i type mentioned above...
