I've heard some people say that if you go with a solid setup like the AMS you need to run solid bushings in the diff support, not poly bushings. Something to do with vibration & the mustache bar eliminator bolts. Also, how bad is your cabin noise? I'm sure most of it came from the solid rear diff bushings...
I like it a lot, nothing moves.

The AMS mustache eliminator included the solid bushings you slide in once you have the factory bushings pressed out. You do not press them in.

It's gets pretty loud in the car during decel at a certain RPM that's for sure. Almost like a dogbox

Got the lug nuts i'll be using for the slipstreams. I had used these same nuts two years ago when I had 5zigen fn01rc's on the car. I like them a lot and the price is right!



Tires will be ordered the first week of February

They are around $75 new. I happen to find a random personal ebay seller with them for $40 shipped new so I grabbed them quick, haha. I was actually looking to buy a purple set but I couldn't pass up the deal I got on my black ones.

I wish I had more updates here but I don't right now. The winter weather has been in full force... It's mostly just a waiting game until the warm weather is back & the track opens haha.

I'll be ordering the tires next week though, so I'll get those mounted and throw up a picture of them on the car asap

Here's a picture of the car and my daily driver on the left

Thanks Dave!

The only thing to do really is up the boost for full power! It's at 34lbs right now which made close to the same power it did early last year. I'm going to take it down to the Sport Compact shootout in May and compete in the AWD class
