BeyondEOD's ST Build Thread

[RusW1]

Hey guys,
I was researching braces, bushings, and this thread came up. I have a single bolt 21 ST. I bought the Steeda urethane pinion bushing, JXB bushing insert, Steeda "ultimate bolt", DX Suspension diff brace, Steeda subframe bushing support kit. I am installing a mild Ford Motorsports tune, and Larger intercooler. I don't plan on beating on the car, just want a little better performance. My question is which of the diff. bushings, braces, support kit should I use based on your experiences? It sounds like making it too stiff has/can cause issues too. Also, don't want to add more noise/NVH to the vehicle, I've been chasing a high speed "moaning" for months.
thanks

Do not use the Steeda pinion bushings. They are horrible, do nothing, and have a high probability of breaking. Otherwise than that everything will do great, and improve performance. Shouldn’t add a whole lot of NVH.

From what i have seen ID Speed brace is the best for no noise. The AWR brace is less money and it seems like few to no complaints about it.
