Rear body isolator
Anyone ever bother to replace the rear sub-frame to body rubber isolators?
If so, what were your results (ex. smoother ride, less vibration or noise, et cetera)? Just curious if anyone has experienced any changes.

I can tell you it should increase the rigidity of your chassis which in turn will improve your handling as well as reduce some vibrations for a smoother ride.

I don't think I would change those unless they had visible deterioration. Also, not sure I would go with anything other than OEM rubber to avoid unwanted NVH. I have poly subframe bushings in my E36 M3 with aluminum differential mounts and it is very noticeable.

If that's all the cracking you have then I wouldn't bother doing them, they look like they are only cracked on the edge. Keep an eye on them but they don't look like they are ready yet.
