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.

If you are tuned and they find out (which they will) it will void your warranty. I have not confirmed this but I was told there is language in their extended warranties that state they have the right to void the warranty if performance enhancing parts are used on the vehicle.

Yes it can and will void ur extended warranty.
