Subframe bushing braces and billet vertical links.

I believe it depends on lowering springs and wheels. I have Steeda springs and stock wheels and I went with the non-adjustable. They got it within spec but not perfect. With the adjustables you can get it on the money.

I’ve played with a lot of parts on my car…very few made an eye opening difference. The rear swaybar is one, drop springs…an intercooler is another one…now these things are out there in the wild and whether you go with FenFab or Steeda doesn’t matter as long as you get a set. The difference is immediate and substantial. This is truly how the car should have felt from the factory. You may not know it but you NEED a subframe bushing brace kit. And while you’re in there Brett has his billet vertical links live on his site now too.

What is your take on the jxb diff bushing insert? Do you think this will help or put more stress on the bolt? Thanks

I’m cautiously optimistic that they’ll be a nice option. I’m holding off on buying them though until there’s some feedback. Those same style bushing inserts are used in a lot of Audi and VW cars…every one I’ve used in my GTI has bent. I have high hopes for the JXB parts.

Planning on doing springs first and then down the road I’ll add all the rear end pieces to stiffen it up. Is there any logical reason to do these in the opposite order or all at once?

Depends on how much time you have, mechanical experience and tools.. Since you're replacing good parts with good parts, theoretically, you should just be able to torque everything, align it and go. Any of these components with be fine by themselves, though.

I believe it’s 129 ft/lbs according to the Steeda video. The 13mm bolt in the center is 41 ft/lbs and the other two 13mm bolts to 41 ft/lbs also.

You are right. Sorry, saw JXB mentioned and was thinking the upgraded rear mount bolt which whoosh lists at 150 ft lbs.
