Hey there 380,

I assumed that you meant "Performance Products," which now seems to be Eckler, rather than "Performance Parts." So I managed to find them there. What I found interesting, though, is that the part is listed for the SL as well as the SLC, even though the SLC supposedly uses a different, rear, subframe bushing. Do you or does anybody else have any ideas as to why this part would fit both?

Also, I was wondering whether you've noticed a very big difference in the ride with the new bushings?
