^^^This^^^ along with the thought that I'd be melting the Foam / Resin and rendering that part of the "fix" useless is whats causing me to question doing it.
Just curious to see folks thoughts and also see feed back now on whether the OEM repairs are still holding out after a few years.
On my race car it has the plates however it also has a weld in cage and I had that tied into the 4 mounting points. The sub frame actually bolts to the cage rather than the car as its all welded together. I don't want solid bushes on the CSL though.
