They are Syncro Design Works monoball bushings and seem very well made. David over there was very helpful and responsive. I paid around $650 for the set including the meyle hd arms (w/ball joints).

I've had a chance to take them on twisty's (that I have driven for years) a few times and am very impressed. I have muscle memory of correcting during certain turns w/dips where I am now having to break that habit due to the X being so much more planted / flat / stable that I now over correct where no correction is needed. Harshness over bumps and feeling every imperfection in the road did seem to increase but has a suprisingly dampened feel to it, completely different feeling from reg bushings if that makes sense.

I really look forward to doing the same runs again on my 214 setup since I much prefer the Continental DWS06 over the scorpion zero's.
