Unfortunately I experienced some rubbing in the rear (more on the passenger side) after my alignment.

Here is the thing though, driving home from my alignment I had no issues...today I had a 6'5" 240lb friend and two gym bags and a case of water so @280 lbs of extra weight... Tomorrow I'll have to drive it again without the extra weight.

Either way I want to make some adjustments...

Figured out my rubbing issue... the brace that protects the emergency brake cable was contacting the inside of my wheels. Bent the brace away from the wheel and the grinding went away... going to test out the suspension this weekend.

Got a chance last weekend to put some more miles on my 86 post alignment.

Although I didn't drive it like I stole it I did notice some positive things during my spirited drive...

- shifting felt really solid, clean or crisp if you will... there was very little slop anywhere...
- the 86 handled like it was on rails... the ride is definitely stiffer but IMO totally in a positive way. If I had to drive it every day I could. I loved accelerating into and out of turns...
- didn't really have any transient noises that I did not know the cause of. I drove with my music off in order to verify this.

Overall I felt very connected to the road which is a great feeling when driving spiritedly... I have installed multiple suspension parts simultaneously so it is difficult to give more credit to one mod over another... However I can say that the Beatrush suspension parts make up the majority of my set up... so I must give credit where credit is due... Beatrush makes some outstanding parts especially when compared to the pricing of competing brands on equivalent products... Beatrush takes the cake IMO because of that.

Btw, I purchased my Beatrush parts from Josh over at Kamispeed... Great guy, great service...couldn't be happier with their customer service.

Awesome! Needless to say, I've been very impressed with Beatrush! Take a look at my build thread as well... I think I might have more info about my suspension installs there that is not included in this thread.

Do you have a build thread?

Got around to completing two of four installs today...Still have to torque the bolts on the differential mount support bar though. I needed a crows foot but l left my set at work. Pretty straight forward installs.

Hex bolts supplied with the Beatrush Differential Mount Support Bar are 12mm with a thread pitch of 1.25 and a rating of 10.9. I will torque them to 80 ft/lbs even though the bolt specs can handle more. The OEM bolts are torqued to 46 ft/lbs.



Torques for the Rear Sway Bar bolts are:
Rear Stabilizer Bracket - 22 ft/lbs
Stabilizer (End) Link - 28 ft/lbs
