Just too tedious for me! I'm not that hard core

I been running those lugs for many years across multiple cars. They do work great! Just keep an eye on the tq as they heat and cool and remember to replace them every year or so

Well I thought that the STI bushings would be relatively easy to install. Fuck that. Have to drop the diff, saw, hammer.


Whiteline inserts it is.

Alright. Installed the STI mounts for engine and transmission. Whiteline LSD inserts, restored the control arms back to stock, which I am pretty sure they were installed wrong by the last shop I brought the car to because the steering was finally smooth and not slightly pulling to the right. Whiteline subframe inserts got installed too. Even knocked a quick oil change at 76,000 miles.

Didnt get to do the steering rack inserts nor the ARP studs. I was pretty whipped by then.

Now, the car feels fantastic. Effortless acceleration although I can hear the initial 1-2-3 shift in the box. Slight whining but nothing particularly annoying. But it just goes, it barely needs gas to get up to speed and accelerating on the highway in 6th requires zero effort. Doesn’t matter if I am in a hill.

Car also has a quick response on the slalom, maybe too much, but it needs a more aggressive camber, currently at -2 on the front until autox starts.
