Rear diff bushing choices
From my researching I have come up with a few options here.
1) OEM (this is probably off my list)
2) Mazdacomp 40% stiffer but still liquid filled
3) pettit (delrin?)
4) solid rx7.com
Are there any other options out there? I am marking the OEM's off of my list because I fear they simply wont hold up to the 400whp I am putting to the wheels. However, what are the others like? I am tempted to go with the mazdacomps, but I fear they might not hold up well either. (anyone used them with big power?) The pettit are looking the best to me, however I fear added noise inside of the car. How much vibration and loudness do they really add? Is it bad enough to where your significant other wouldnt be willing to take a 12hr road trip in the car? (if you were so inclined to do so. That is really just a streetable test though, I cant say I take lots of those in the FD
) What about the rx7.com ones? Id imagine solid ones would be the worse, but how bad are they really? If I can hear them and I'm not listening for them thats too loud for me.
I appreciate any input you guys might have.
Thanks!

I have the Jimlab solid diff mounts. Same as Rx7.com except mine are white. You can't go wrong the solid mounts. They are very streetable. You can hear some slight rumble in the rear but it' isn't that noticeable. My rear end is more solid than ever. I love them. These solid mounts can substitute a biff brace. Oh yea! I installed mine a couple days before sevenstock 7 2004. I drove 15hrs to California from Texas and had no complaints about the ride quality. I highly recommend the solid mounts.
