I am definetly not putting the solid bushings in the car. I made the mistake of doing that in the black car when I first got it and it was so loud lol!

Yeah, I am going to switch out my AMS solid bushings for some poly ones in my black car soon also lol. Let me know what brand you decide on doing, i'll probably do the same I was thinking whiteline.

I would look into the trail arm and rear diff bushings for your car man. Especially with the power level you are at.
Ive heard of the harshness and noise like Scott mentioned. I still drive mine on the street quite a bit, take it on small roadtrips etc.

Torque Solutions is not a bad choice as well. When the time comes, I think it will be between those two. I just want whichever is quiet as well, since I drive this car everyday lol.

Yea I hear ya man, that's why I would look into the TQ or Whiteline. Solid bushings will be too loud especially if you drive the car a lot and on road trips.

Quick Update on the RS:


Today I am doing an oil change on the car and going up to Boostin tomorrow to get all the fluids changed. I dont know when its been done last on the car, and since I am bringing it to the track, I would like to get it done. I am going to the track April 20th. I am going with some buddies for fun and thought I might as well bring the RS. Looking forward to have some fun and make some passes. Hopefully I can make some low 12 second passes

Joey, i'm not sure why you are doubting low 12/high 11 sec passes in your car. Trust me, it's there

I think for sure the car will make some low 12 second passes. 11.9 is possible, but I think it will be hard to do so. I am sure going to try though

I blame driver mod, crappy shifting and the poor short gears of the stock 9 trans for that haha

I at least hope to hit an 11 second pass. I dont know though, will see. I think it will be more in the low 12 second range. All depending on how the car hooks up. Your car make a lot of power man, just some more seat time and the time will come down

I might try to get the rear diff buschings done this weekend if I can. I know I might be okay without them, but I might try to get it done before I bring the car to the track next Saturday the 20th
