I don't care if you put in PFADT, BMR, Pedders, Hotchiks...whatever. If you don't want a hardcore ride, don't install hardcore parts. Personally I love all the hardcore sounds now in my car. It reminds Me that it's a machine!

Problem is the retailers don't tell anybody what to expect when then recommend all those parts. I've got the full line-up of Pfadt's goodies, including the engine mounts. Now I've got all the rattles, squeaking, moaning and groaning from both the front and rear end with every turn of the wheel.
Definitely a Hard Core feel and sound now. I'm not upset, I reallized all the parts are made for racing and I made the decison to go with the changes, just really didn't know how noisy it was going to get. On the good side, the handling is Kick-@$$ and tight as can be. Definitely make the car track worthy.
I changed my dif lube last year right before the mods with Mobil 1, might do it again with the GM additive to see if it helps.
When I contacted them last Fall, Pfadt suggested I get it back to the installer to go over everything. Hasn't stopped raining here yet this Spring, but when it does I'll get it all checked out and fluid changed.
