Thanks Myles, and yes I agree, some of these parts make it hard to show any real data, and really just comes down to how you want the car to feel or be setup.

We did take a video of the stock diff bushings, not the best angle, but it gives you an idea of how much flex there is with the stock bushings. This was on cold but dry pavement.

Does the cusco diff bush kit also come with the outrigger bushes you can see in Myle's pic? I get an insane amount of movement all around back here since adding sticky tires

VERY NICE ! And I agree. BTW my post and using your video was meant at showing the movement. But this new one is better. And I agree some will want this and some wont. I think once a person sees the amount of movement they might want the modification.

So Cusco or Whiteline? Which one is better?

Also what is the difference between KTD924 and KTD925?

That is exactly the issue I got here too!
I only can guess that KTD925 or KTD924 are only a bushing and eventually will wear out to the ineffective level but Cusco or Beatrush one will last forever.

However still wondering whether that extra $100 on Cusco is worth or not.

I have asked the guys from @RallySport Direct. They have kindly came back to me with this:

"Thanks for the PM. As you know we run the Cusco mount on our BRZ, and while I love it, it does add quite a bit of NHV and you would notice it for sure and I would generally not recommend it for a street car due to the rawness of it. Now between the Whiteline 925 and 924, the 924 will give a more solid feel and should be more comfortable than the Cusco mounts, but you do have to press out the old bushings and press in the new ones. On my personal BRZ I will eventually go with the 925's as I think that is the best compromise between the 3, and they are much easier to install as well as you are not pressing out bushings. They will still reduce the rear diff movement substantially and without adding much NHV to the car, but enough that you know they are there. "

I will go with 925 and see how it goes. Hope this helps.

I have the 925s in my car and NVH is not a major issue. I've got the Perrin gearbox mount and cusco stiffener, they added way more NVH than the 925. That said, you can definitely feel the difference in the driveline in a good way.
