Yeah I like his DIY videos just sometimes he talks too much trying to tackle everything at once which is good but it gets overwhelming, I am the kind to just please go straight to the point and get it over with.

No rust issues here in the sunny SoCaL!

I am starting to get annoyed with my RAS as I feel like it is always in the way whenever I am working around the subframe suspension components, I don't really feel any benefits of having that thing.

First initial impression - WHEEL HOP GONE!!! this is combined with kdt911 whiteline diff bushings that I had installed last December. I am excited to see how it feels around the track when I go back January. This mod is worth it for me and meets my expectation, thanks Z1!

Nice... I still really want to try these. Not having to drop the subframe sounds amazing.

Deelicious before you installed your subframe bushings did you get a little bit of drivetrain flex (sort of like when you've got a blown engine mount) on/off throttle? My G does this as well as wheel hops on launch, hoping its just the subframe bushings.

Now that I got the diff bushings replaced plus adding the collar inserts, I wanna say the vibration now is less than before but wheel hop is gone unless you are intentionally trying to stall the vehicle. Could be my engine mount that is causing the minor vibration due to its age.
