The Steeda Diff bush package is very popular, and adds no noise in the street variant (which is the one we stock in the UK) and yes it will help!

You can check it out here http://www.steeda.co.uk/steeda-s550-mustang-adjustable-diff-bushing-insert-system-c2x21108614 and thanks for supporting Steeda with your spring choice!

Did you read the OP?

He has CB005, so adding those will add a tonne of noise, I know I did it and so did others and those who don't wanted added NVH or noise then definetely do not fit those when using CB005.

Adding them by themselves they still add NVH, but it is minor.

Correct they are Delrin. If you are hacksaw certified, I guess thats an option, haha. However we generally dont recommend hacking our parts up.:eyebulge:

The really important question, is why dont you have these yet....... :shrug::paddle::crazy::brokenheart:
Should have said 'unobtainium'. Charge what you like then ;)

I am definitely getting the CB005, as Gibbo was highlighting I was concerned by adding this it may be too stiff? Then give added vibration and noise?

CB005 is far more effective than the Steeda diff inserts with locking the rear-end down and prevent wheel hop / axle tramp.

When you add those diff inserts along with CB005 it makes the transmission very clunky in sound/noise and you get some low RPM NVH and at highway / motorway speeds you get diff whine with the diff inserts installed.

Yes they do improve handling but not to same level as CB005 and as such I removed mine.

If you want them I will sell them to you cheap as I will not be refitting them. ;)

Thanks Gibbo, I will go for the CB 005 only then. Anything else I should add (I am doing Roush Axle Back, and Steeda Progressive Sport springs) to help the handling? I do want to keep it comfortable though very much GT rather than go kart ride.

Can you not get the Eibach Ford UK springs still? They'd be better from comfort point of view.

But that will make it look nice and handle better, leave it at that and when tyres need changing put Michelin PS4S on it or MPSS.

Also 15mm spacers all round works nice or 15mm rear and 25mm front, again stick with Eibach.
