Whiteline KDT923, Anyone?
 
I have searched Google 5x probably and cannot find anything on these bushings.

Does anyone have them installed or know if they are worth the hassle? It looks like the whole diff needs to be removed to install them.

I have the KDT925 installed, but have not driven since installing. I am trying to figure out if I should install the kdt923s or not but I can't find any info on them. No reviews, nothing.

If there is info and I missed it, I apologize, but I'm here because I couldn't find any.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

I've had these installed together will all the other available bushings from Whiteline. Did everything together so I'm not really sure what would happen if you change this part only. Overall car felt more responsive on throttle, but I think NVH like clunks and whine is due to this exact bushing.

A lot of people were complaining of that with the KDT925 kit. The Rear Diff bushings. I wonder if it's that or this kit causing it.

You need to pull the whole diff out for these bushings right? Does that mean you need to drain it first?

I didn't realize it was so much work for these, lol.

I've done both of these bushing independently in customer cars but not together. They were about 2 weeks apart and they felt similarish in how big of a difference they made. I don't know if they compound nicely or if they basically double up...Diff came out for these.

If you haven't done some of the other bushings out back yet, I'd recommend those first. The subframe lockout bushings, and transmission insert bushing are my personal two favorites.

I now have the tran bushing (for maybe a year now - love it) and I just threw the Rear Diff Bushings in (KDT925). Only drove it for a minute, but seems to be a little more torquey.

Now I am dreading putting these in, since I have to remove the diff. I had been trying to find reviews of the Outrigger bushings, but seems like no one has reviewed them.

Thanks for the response!

Start with subframe bushings. There's no surefire way to make a car you love to drive a car you hate to drive like replacing too many bushings, or making one assembly too stiff without addressing the softest parts.

Also something I was afraid of, hah. I've read plenty of good reviews on the rear bushings. I was afraid if I changed both I couldn't really review the outrigger bushings (KDT923). Now that I am waiting (or may never throw em on cause I'm too lazy) I can review each piece separately.

I am just running out of cheaper < 1k upgrades, heh. Turbo is hopefully next, then brakes. I am looking at slightly larger sway (pick a name) bars.

It's okay to run out of upgrades. Stop when you're happy with your car for your intended purpose, not when the aftermarket runs out.
