Just curious to see folks thoughts and also see feed back now on whether the OEM repairs are still holding out after a few years.

On my race car it has the plates however it also has a weld in cage and I had that tied into the 4 mounting points. The sub frame actually bolts to the cage rather than the car as its all welded together. I don't want solid bushes on the CSL though.
Regarding the solid subframe bushes ,, after doing the plates on track build car myself, and properly looking at the structure of the subframe bush fixing area,, personally I think the solid wide bushing is a better option than the std rubber bushes, personally I believe as the std rubber bushes start to soften / moor movement in subframe happens eventually cracking on original panel around bolt points and wider area, Definitely if plated I’d go solid bush on csl ,, only disadvantage possibly a slightly bit more road noises through the car , but I’m sure it would tighten up the rear end,that has to be a bonus
