I have been setting up my 2016 GTPP for trackday use and am now at the point that i think i need a better seat and restraing system. I do not think the stock set up will keep me in the seat. I just installed the quick fit pro but don't think its for me.
I have substantially upgraded the...
I put in the delrin cradle bushings and solid aluminum diff bushings and have no worries about broken bolts. Personaly the NVH is not that bad and after a couple of week i don't even give it a thought.
Sure is better than these bolt issues.
I have a slidht gear whine (very minimal) and you...
I have set my car up for HPDE. I have a Borla exhaust. I really don,t mind the NVH. We DD the car as well . My wife does not mind it either. She drive it to work sometimes and it a 30 mile commute.
I am near retirement age so my hearing may be a factor. Either way we like it. Really love the...
I have installed the following. While the NVH has increased i find it quite tolerable and with the exception or the gear whine (very mild) and hearing the gear lash when shifting into first or reversa i actually like it. I did fill my cradle with spray foan and put soung dampening on it.

The cradle is the frame that the suspension components connect to and mounts to the body.
Enzo, I do not see any down side to using the foam. It is cheap and easy, and I am confident it helped.
I will post some pictures

With regards to the spray foam I do not have a benchmark only that before I filled it I took a small plastic banner ant tapped on the cradle and I have a a lot of noise and hollow sound. Once it was filled it was considerably quieter and made more of a dull thud type sound.
The only noise I...
I changed all of the following at once, what a difference. I was shocked the first time out. This car handles incredible.

Solid aluminum dif bushings
Replaced LCA bushings

I have a set of Forgestar CF5 19x11 coming and was trying to decide between the R888R 295 and the Nto1 305.
Sounds like I will go with the nitt0 305!!!
No, I did not use the bushings. I do not really see how they would help. Not sure you could get the bolts in....
With the delrin bushings the cradle is a very tight fit and cannot be moved around. Once the bolts are in there is no movement. I checked the position of the cradle and it was...
I did my complete rear suspension all at once myself in about 12 hours of work. The cradle and diff bushinge were a pain. Just take your time cutting them with a sawzall.
I used BMR delrin cradle bushings
BMR aluminum diff bushings
Replace all control arm bushings
Replaced upper control arms...
The rear suspension alignment will cause this as well.
I replace all the bushings in the rear suspension and when done I had the same issue.
It was the rear toe.
Set it to 1/8 to in on each side, problem solved
