Well, they are made from the polyurethane so the material hardness is the same. The difference is in the design. The Daizen are just cylinders of material that fill the entire void between the rack mounting hole and the bolts. On the other hand, the Sewell parts have four "lobes" that make full contact but otherwise leave an air space elsewhere. These lobes compress as needed and squeeze into the air space and this is what makes them softer than the Daizen. The Daizen don't have anywhere to squeeze into so they are more rigid.
Yeah, I noticed the lobes when I installed them. I am very happy with them. Really tightened up the steering!!!
I highly recommend this mod. Quick, easy and inexpensive. And it really does help!!

Who wants to test out my solid steering rack bushings on a 2 GS?
