I got mine yesterday. They look very nice and I'm anxious to get them installed. I think I might try to squeeze it in before the weekend. I'm planning on going to the driftwater event on Sunday and would love to try them out there.

Interested to see your review with them installed on a lower mileage car.

As am I. Want to see what you notice as far as differences.

Hmmm...very interesting, I did not have time to install mind yet so now I wouldn't have time 'till September. I hope none of that weird sounds comes out when I test it or if the improved ride trade off is worth it.

I think it's probably normal. You can't stiffen stuff up like that and get no change in noise/vibration. Every vehicle that I've put similar parts on has increased some level of noise in the rear end.

I should be putting mine on this week so I'll let you know if I get anything.

I was the one that made that post. I did some more reading last night and it makes sense. I mean think of how much extra noise there is when you install stiffer motor mounts. The noise is faint. Its like someone is whistling/humming. Its not constant either. Its just when you release slight pressure off the throttle. Say you are cruising and have your foot all the way on the throttle and you let off completely, then the is zero noise or even if you are slowing down to a stop. It only happens with gentle release of the throttle.

You also have to keep in mind that I have 133k miles on my car and in this case, I would say results may vary. I also don't have an exhaust either so I hear everything.

Also, this is not something negative. The trade-off for having a better feel is worth it in my opinion. I also daily my car so my tolerance for any noise is higher since I'm used to it.

I just thought it was interesting that the noise issue wasn't raised on the thread where everyone was laying down their hard earned money. It should be expected that there will be additional noise/vibration/harshness with a solid diff mount but I didn't see any mention of it in this thread. I am considering these for my race car.
