I have them in my car and also the diff bushings along with every other suspension component so I can say that wheel hop is gone and there is no movement in my rear end...(no pun intended LOL) but I think I finally have my car setup to hookup at the track. You can trust anything Aaron tells you as he is very honest and will give a honest opinion and Pfadt products are top notch. I also have Spohn, BMR and Pedders suspension equipment so I can share the love. Be aware though, the installation is not for the faint of heart but a little sweat and patience it went fairly smooth.

Hey stealth! Glad to see you came out to the track. You watch the races at all? The Camaro was on-point!

I finally got around to doing my first installation on a set (aside from watching a few or our technicians) and overall it was not to bad at all (on a lift that is).

The subframe comes out in minutes, I think 25 minutes and I had it out...Cutting the bushings with a nice long sawzall made life easy and then reinstall was just as simple. How ever on jack stands this could be a little more of a job.

Taking the car for a drive after words, WHAT A DIFFERENCE.

Regards

yes, the camaro that was racing won its class, would you recommend doing the rear diff bushings at the same time as the rear sub frame mounts. cant thank the owner enough for spending the time to talk with us and watch the race with us.

We charge 3.5 hours to install the sub frame bushings. I believe 4-5 hours is what is recommend. In terms of dollars, rates vary wildly for many shops so I can not comment there, but this should minimally give you a time budget.

I would also add if you are planning on doing diff bushings it is much easier to do so while the rear subframe is out of the car, they are a very nice upgrade.

The Pfadt solid subframe bushings are worth every penny. They eliminate any subframe deflection. Nice for transmitting the engine energy (horsepower) to the ground.

If you order these you may want to get the motor mounts too... As the engine builder said "Without those, the engine moved like a Rock Band" (True story...)

ADM just changed mine out with the dif bushings also and it still walks side to side a little in 3rd gear. I have had it aligned twice it still does it. 130 mph rear end "step outs" are not fun. The tires are not breaking loose it just won't stay straight.
