So, Monaro (which one) rear donut bushes fit Omega?
As I was trying to source poly rear bushes, but never found them.

I'm under impression that fiting stronger (poly or similar) donuts is a single most effective mod for making rear end mor firmer and 'sharper'. Because the OEM donuts do really flex quite a lot under load.

Last time I used Lemförder.

I fitted now poly bushes, driving is very firm but there is more noise and vibration inside.

Some NVH is the trade off when deciding between softer, floaty rear end and a more controlled approach ;)

Depends if you cruise around at 60% of the speed limit or prefer to drive to the capabilities of the chassis...
