Arrow WhiteLine Positive Shift and Rear Subframe Bushings Review @ Pure Automotive

Just a brief install pictorial of the latest addition to the shop car and a customer's car.



The Whiteline Positive Shift Bushing Compared to Stock:




Installed:



Whiteline Rear Subframe Bushings Installed:




My thoughts:

The positive shift bushing is a fairly quick install. The rear bushings should be a quick install but I found it very tricky to get the subframe bolts to go back in, its not very hard, just tedious, you definitely don't want to rush it.
I can definitely feel a distinct difference, mainly because its wet today. Both cars broke traction on acceleration quicker than before, which means once its dry out, its going to be a quicker "lunge" when you hit the pedal with reduced up and down movement on acceleration and no side to side movement when cornering. There is less slop in the transmission when shifting as well. I only drove them around the business park so I will have more real world experience with them if it ever stops raining. Thanks for reading!

I actually just installed the Torque Solutions rear shifter bushing the day before and I had a very subtle change in feel, if nothing else, its worth it to replace the weak stock bushing.
