Would anyone be interested in trading a Powerflex trans bushing for an IE one?

I recently bought the IE trans bushing and installed it for maybe a month or so. I didn't like the vibration in my car, so I took it off. I'm debating putting it back on and giving it another try, but first I wanted to see if anyone wanted to swap it for a Powerflex bushing? I've heard the powerflex is a little more compliant than the IE bushing, so if anyone with a powerflex was looking for something a little bit more "racy", I'd be willing to swap for one that wasn't too heavily used.

I didn't post this in the marketplace because I didn't think it fit the requirements for a classified..

Did you do the other 2 mounts?

The lower mount actually does most of the work so that should be the first one done then the passenger side mount. The tranny one is usually the last one done as it doesn't move around as much.

I did the lower large mount, but not the top yet as I also read that the lower one handles most of the work. For some reason the trans mount made a bigger difference in suppressing engine movement than the lower poly insert did.
