More than worth it. Now PBM just needs to release their knuckle kit and a rear drop spindle setup

I already replaced my subframe bushings with Whiteline bushings hence just wanting to do diff.

I'd like to say yes because the axles connect to the diff which are bolted to the subframe. If you raise the diff, that should eliminate some of the axle angle.

Idk about the individual gains though. Makes me curious if the diff raisers raise the diff by 20mm by themselves. If that's the case, then raising the subframe an additional 20mm after that would help eliminate a HUGE CHUNK of the axle angle.

That would be badass

Well according to this link, that's actually seems to be the case...

They separate each product and claim that the diff riser gives you the 20mm for the axles and the subframe bushes seem to be targeted at handling and fixing roll center.

That's how I read it anyway...

Seem to be right. So you raise the diff 20mm, then raise the whole subframe another 20mm.

So by doing both, you could effectively raise the diff by nearly 1.5" in the end.

Mmmmm I don't think you get another 20mm from doing the subframe kit. If that was the case, surely they would of mentioned it in that post? Id say the subframe kit would be around 5-10mm.

The only thing that concerns me about the diff riser kit is having to weld in the subframe mounts.

We really need someone from PSM on here to clarify. I might compile all this and email them again.

I'd say 10mm at least. You're grinding down the top section where the subframe mounts meet the bottom of the chassis cause the bushings are recessed. Still over an 1" of correction.

As for the diff risers, so long as you have somebody who can weld well, I don't see it being an issue

No bueno. Glad your okay. It seemed like you were inducing a lot of understeer with your throttle control throughout the video.

That was a video from a drift event a few months back here in Lousiana. Guy just tried to sell that car for $27k "never wrecked" cause thats what he owns on it with 26k miles. Sold me a set of Gram Lights a month before that that when I pulled the tire off there was a 3" weld bend at the spoke. He is thick headed.
"never wrecked"

Once it gets on the car, I'll probably end up dropping the car down close to another inch.

How much does a setup like that run?

$200 for everything....provided you know how to do the work yourself.

Oh, I must've been looking at something different then. I saw the 600hp axle going for $1K.
