Yep!
According to Simpson Motorsport, they seem to think the CSL bushes are actually ok as they are an uprated version of the standard M3's which weren't good...
The limiter is indeed 2 big aluminium washers that is designed to reduce the free space either side of the bush housing after BMW fitted a housing bracket with a little too much scope for lateral movement! In either case, the end result of a limiter kit and/or poly bushes is broadly similar...
Simpson don't really recommend poly bushes for cars used mainly on road as they can wear prematurely (compared to rubber items) and also transmit vibration more readily to other suspension components as well as making the ride harsher. The limiter kit
is more expensive but in the long run, maybe needing to swap out poly bushes and worn kit would be more so?
If i had enough spare cash to just use my car on track as well as owning another daily driver that made me smile like the CSL, then i might consider poly bushes, but i have the issue of covering relatively high mileage in my CSL with the occaisional track day and i would rather not put any undue stress on suspension components.
As it is, the limiter kit has certainly worked to make my car feel noticibly more stable in high speed corners during my latest visit to the Ring. I recommend it...
