They don't recommend using both aluminum bushings because the rubber ones help take the shock out of the drive train. dunno about the rest of your Q's

Couplers:
26 11 1 255 624 – 10mm coupler
26 11 1 227 410 – 12mm coupler
The 12mm couplers are for a standard 99 BMW 318ti.
The 10mm couplers are for an auto 99 BMW 318ti.
Make sure you get the FEBI or Lemforder brands.
I think the 12mm showed up in 01 with the Z06 so your 00 should have the 10mm couplers. $155 is about $100 too much.

Thanks for the info. Someday I'll be using this, as I do as much of my own work as possible.
