Not sure but they really aren't needed. I have been over some rough bumps and
stuff since I got my install on Friday and haven't come close to needing them.

David,

Still loving them. Car is so much more fun to drive with the Steeda
Suspension upgrades.

Thanks for keeping me in mind with the new items.

[MENTION=11645]SC_Sport_Pilot[/MENTION] Hey Gene! So how are you liking the Steeda goodies now that you've got some driving time with them?

David,

Sorry,I just saw this. I have been traveling a bit for work. I now have
about 5000 miles on the car since the Steeda goodies were installed and the
car is everything I thought it should be from the factory. I did end up with
some gear whine but I have learned to live with it. I think the IRS alignment
bars is transmitting the Torsen noise, but again, the car handles superbly. No
roll in high speed corners and minimal in hard breaking corners. I can now put
the power down at the apex and the car stay stuck to the track. Without a
doubt the best money I have spent on the car.

Thanks again to Steeda and for all of your help.

Just ordered almost exactly what you did, stage 1, sth pack, bump steer kit and diff kit! I hope since mine isn't a Torsen the wine doesn't come in but it sounds lovely! How is wheel hop?

I don't mean to hi-jack the thread or anything... BUT
I installed the Steeda subframe bushing/billet pieces and the differential street bushings in last night and now Im getting a slight "thump/bump" when the rear wheels start to move forward or reverse. Is that to be expected cause the differential is more solid now? I had the subframe bushings installed about 3 weeks ago and it never made that noise till I just yesterday installed the diff bushings.
Just thought I would ask here since you installed steeda stuff and maybe David@steeda can chime in too.
I know I torque everything as instructed.

Eco, mine do make the thunk when taking off. I have been told it is the Torsen rear
end along with the traction control. I turn the traction control off and the sound
goes away. I have also seen the half shafts have some play in them and have
been told by one of the locals here that they can also be making noise. My car is
a GT Premium PP so it may be different from yours.

 

[Ecoboosted15]

No its not that, I don't have the torsen diff and cancelling the traction control has nothing to do with it either.
I obviously get more noise from the rear diff now. Like I can hear the gear whine inside some, but that doesn't bother me.
Its almost like, if the axles are "thumping" the diff now since its more solidly mounted on the subframe so it transfer noise through the subframe and into the body.
I can hear it some coasting over road turtles with the car around 10-15 miles per hour and the trans can be in neutral.
Anyone else experiencing this on theirs after the diff bushing install??
