Everyone, I just installed the Steeda IRS Support Braces #555-5754. They fit perfectly and were easy to install.

They definitely help traction and the car feels a little more planted. I now want to install the Subframe Bushing Support System #555-4437. Those pieces will help traction and add stability.

However, If I'm going to lower the subframe, it would be nice to install the lowering springs that I also want. Where does this mod stuff end?

By the way, that bottom bolt on the Vertical Links is more than just a little challenging to line up. I was cursing in Martian, by the time I finished that job...

Put the top bolt in first, then jack up the lower control arm until the bottom bolt lines up.

At 3:25 in this video, he gives a tip to rotate until it lines up. This is actually what worked best for me, and I just turned it with a gloved hand while pushing in the pin.

No subframe braces or lock outs here. Just proper straight line camber adjustment, Steeda subframe centering dowels and Steedas piggy back differential mounting bushings.
0-60 in 1.9 seconds when fully hooked up. ( 1.31 60’).

Did you experience any extra NVH from the differential bushing? I've done vertical links, subframe bushings, g-track brace, and the rear IRS brace.... I was too afraid of harshness from the diff bushings.

None. Because they maintain the OEM bushings to continue doing most of the NVH isolation inbetween them.

The diff bushings don’t give me any gear whine or anything, but the clinks and clacks of the drivetrain are way more noisy when shifting gears.
