E46 Suspension Bushing Kit (Poly)

Below, we explain which applications each polyurethane hardness (durometer) is generally best for. The hardness of BMW OEM bushings is usually around 55A. The softest durometer we offer is our medium 85A (OEM+), followed by our medium-hard 95A (Performance/Drift) and our rock-solid 75D (Race). If you need further help determining which hardness is right for you and your build, please contact us.  

• NOTE: Hardness alone is not an indicator of either the quality or the performance capability of a part, and should not be relied upon as a specification by itself. There are many compounds with very different quality and performance characteristics that can be produced at the same durometer. So, even though AKG bushings may have the same relative hardness as those sold elsewhere, the chemical structure of the raw materials and the manufacturing process is completely different. The quality of our polyurethane is so much better than anything else available, you can actually see and feel the difference for yourself!

85A (Medium Compound) | OEM+
If you have a predominantly street driven car (with minor performance modifications) and are looking for that OEM+ feeling, then our medium 85A durometer is for you. 

Whether your stock bushings are in need of replacement or you’re just ready for a slight upgrade, 85A hardness is a good choice. Our 85A compound is engineered to retain a comfortable ride with slightly improved performance over the stock bushings. They are designed to be stronger and last longer than factory OEM bushings, and come with a lifetime warranty.

The NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) increase is minimal (everyone’s perception of NVH is different and this is only a guide).

95A (Medium-Hard Compound) | Performance & Drift
If you have a more performance-focused “dual-duty” track or drift build that still sees street use and are looking for a considerable increase in performance, then our medium-hard 95A durometer is for you. 

Whether you’re looking to achieve faster laps at the track or more precise angle stability while drifting, 95A hardness is a good choice. Our 95A compound is engineered to deliver a significant increase in performance over stock by drastically decreasing deflection (movement) - while at the same time providing as much of a comfortable ride as possible during normal driving. They are designed to be stronger and last longer than factory OEM bushings, and come with a lifetime warranty.

The NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) increase is minimal to moderate (everyone’s perception of NVH is different and this is only a guide).

75D (Hard Compound) | Race & High Horsepower
If you have a purpose-built race or drift car, and are looking for the maximum possible performance available, then our rock-hard, race-proven 75D compound is for you. This is also the proper compound for high-horsepower and/or big-grip cars. 

For those that want to eliminate the movement (deflection) that occurs with the stock bushings to maintain precise suspension geometry for exceptional handling and responsiveness - and you aren’t concerned with any increase in NVH, 75D hardness is a good choice. Our 75D compound is specifically engineered to be the strongest and most durable non-metallic compound available. It is the best option for race classes where metal bushings are not allowed, or for those who do not wish to deal with the issues that can arise when using metal bushings.

Our U.S. Military Spec 75D compound is as hard as a bowling ball, yet has elasticity and memory. This exclusive compound allows us to manufacture a bushing that provides virtually the same performance as a metal bushing, but which isn't harsh on the chassis like metal bushings are. Likewise, its elasticity and memory means they are also free from deformation which cheap plastic bushings (Delrin/UHMW) are very prone to. They are the strongest and longest lasting non-metallic bushings available and come with a lifetime warranty.

The NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) increase is moderate to high (everyone’s perception of NVH is different and this is only a guide).

This BMW E46 Polyurethane Bushing Kit comes complete with the E46 suspension bushings necessary to replace the key factory bushings on an E46 chassis. Our poly E46 bushings virtually eliminate the deflection that occurs with the factory rubber bushings for proven, top-level performance. This BMW E46 poly bushing kit comes complete with one set each of our front control arm, trailing arm, diff and subframe bushings. Choose our 95A Performance Pack option for an OEM+/performance build or our 75D Race Pack option for a purpose-built track, drift or race car.

You found the GOAT! All of these bushings are the original USA-made polyurethane E46 bushings - designed by us and copied by the other guys. Don’t be fooled, our bushings are guaranteed to be higher-quality, better performing and longer lasting than the knockoffs!

How do these work together to improve your build? The subframe and diff bushings work together to eliminate subframe and differential movement as torque moves through the drivetrain for proper power transfer through the rear-end. The rear subframe bushings are also the first step in maintaining proper rear-end geometry and alignment. In addition, the front control arm and rear trailing arm bushings prevent these arms from moving - keeping alignment consistent for outstanding steering/cornering and braking stability.
