I don't think so as it shouldn't change anything geometry wise. Just make sure to keep the rear subframe lined up properly and your good.

post up your thoughts when you get a chance! Sadly, I don't think I'll have time to install these until Feb.

Got my bushings installed, ended up just doing it myself in the garage. Was pretty simple, most of the install time spent trying to get the big bolts for the crossmember threaded back in. I came from a Jetta where I used to strip alot of bolts so I was being extra careful with these. If you strip them the car is basically totaled lol other than that it was very simple as long as you have a small jack that you can use to move the crossmember up and down with. I put it completely up on jacks and just dropped the crossmember for clearance as stated at the bottom of the DIY. Also had the infamous seawater growth on my passengers side crossmember bolt. Had to clean it with a wire brush.

Definitely made a great difference. Car stays so much more planted to the ground now. It's crazy how much more stable it feels around corners. Worth every penny!

installed mine yesterday night, took me about 4 hours. got stuck a couple times trying to line up the bolts and took my time. the DIY says to torque the bolts to 107ftlbs i dont know if its just me but i couldnt get my torque wrench to click :/

this is the best thing i bought for my car so far! you'll feel a big difference.

I think I should tighten it more. Pretty hard to tighten when im only 150lbs and Im laying on the floor. Maybe I should breaker bar it.

To be on the safe side you'll want to tighten it asap that would be a bad bolt to have back out on you lol you'll be dragging your diff on the road. Don't think it'll be a problem going to your track as long as you're not pushing it tho

Slap the handle to your jack on the end to get more leverage

down some muscle milk and have at it! If you want, I have a breaker bar and a rubber mallet if you're in need of them.
