andy james Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Looking to reduce rear wheel tramp,tighter gearbox feel and want to go for a hardrace mount which I believe is a step forward from OEM but not as radical as a solid mount. Been doing some research and have read very mixed opinions regarding noise,vibration but also positive improvements on removing the sloppiness between engine and diff. i already have a fairly loud car, harder coilovers and a plated diff so am not adverse to noises that are not Wafty Lexus! Any feedback would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Just in the process of doing SPL solid diff bushings on mine and decided that the hardened rubber Hardrace would work well with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) +1 on a decent diff bush replacement. It made a massive difference to mine (bought from Alex as a non-coincidence ) Edited September 22, 2017 by Toon Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy james Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Thanks guys for your advice. Think I may bite the bullet and fit the hard race one as the advantages seem to outweigh the extra noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 You really should consider going solid on the diff bushings as well as the hardened rubber gearbox mount. The majority of your wheel hop will be the soft diff bushings These solid diff bushings will totally transform your car from"hop-hop-hop-hook" to just a squat and hook.

I already have White line bushes on the Diff which I have to say has made the wheel hopping worse so I'm hoping the hardrace mount will help me on launch.

ZMANALEX Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Nah, with the power of your car the Whiteline are pish. OK for N/A but no good for FI. Get the solids in. I also bet that the Whiteline bushings on the diff ears are fitted the wrong way round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
