WOW! Busy boy. Your car looks great!

Installed Cusco motor mounts today. About a week ago I installed the Perrin transmission support and also modified a whiteline transmission bushing to fit the Perrin support. Shit ton of NVH, but the car handles great and the driveline lash is gone. And the extra noise makes me smile like an idiot as it runs towards redline. I also installed a Fumoto drain valve and Cusco pedal about a week ago.

After having dealt with the horrendous brake squealing these past couple of weeks since installing Hawk HP+ pads, I'm happy to finally drive the car with extended studs and not-as-horrendous squealing after having added some lubrication all around! (not on the pads or the rotor themselves of course)

So now all that's left is to finally give the car a proper wash and start thinking about more mods.

What did you lub to reduce the brake squealing?

I did the same thing with the Perrin transmission support, the Whiteline bushing, the Perrin shifter mount bushing and the Cusco solid shift lever retainer bushings. Massive NVH but you really feel connected to the action. I can actually hear the syncros and the main drive shaft.

I have a rear shifter bushing coming and I thought about the cusco lever bushings. It makes me grin as I get higher in the rev range. It's loud, but it's fun.

Why don't you folks just weld the engine to the frame (body), weld the transmission to the engine, and weld all the other parts of the drive train together then weld that all up to the transmission? -

Strange, I have a very similar setup (no Perrin trans support, just the Whiteline and Torque Solutions shifter carrier bushings instead of Cusco) and didn't notice any added NVH, but shifting while accelerating/braking is much more solid.

Why hadn't I thought of that! No movement at all ftw!

I'm a little late to this, but all I've used was synthetic caliper grease from an O'Reilly's in my area.

So far it seems to work; my brakes have not squealed any louder from when I initially posted a few days ago.
