Rear bottom mount coilover bushings

So i've got rubber bushings in the lower mount of my rear coilovers (stance gr+ pro), and they're getting pretty fuckin worn out. gettin sketched about them tearing completely and coming loose. anyone know a place that would sells and/or installs spherical or polyurethane bushings in that mount? really would prefer to not have to completely replace the bottom mounts completely.

The way the bushings are molded in make it very hard to 'press in' a replacement. Not sure if you could really find an alternative.

I haven't read much on the internet about it, but I feel stance coils should be more known for this problem. I've had to deal with it, and a couple friends with Stance as well.

I did buy a brand new set of lower mounts from Stance maybe a couple months ago because mine were done for. It was $120 for the pair. One of them is already pretty torn. I don't really feel it for now though, and the other side is fine.

Probably my only complaint about them though. They're easy to deal with if you have to contact them.

thats unfortunate. if anything i might contact pbm and see if i can get some polyurethane bushings from them since thats what their coils have. if not, i might just get pbm bottom mounts instead if they fit

It is a common problem. Mine were very worn out on my FD.
