Any issues (for the R56S) if one places PowerFlex LowerEngine Mount Bushes? Ive heard that with the Purple ones, when the car idles there is a tremble!

What are silent blocks? Is this a common American term?

I think its a UK term. Both Powerflex and Superproare good, superpro has more resiliency in the poly. Some have different , if you go with the black series Powerflex, it will be very harsh, unless you are a track person , then that does not matter.

Superpro has some fitment locations that Powerflex does not cover.
