Pfadt subframe mounts

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.

3.5hrs, im guessing your rate is about $90/hr so about $315-$350?

SSMagna, have you changed all the other components? (trailing arms, toe rods, coil overs, sway bars) as just the bushings will help trmendously but the stock compnents with your power level will allow flex and movement. I have changed all of these compnents and after checking my alignment, my toe out was off and now that is corrected, the rear end is stable and solid as it should be. If you have made all these changes and your alignment is correct, I would make sure my wheels were true. Best of luck to you as it seems you are heading in the right direction on an awesome build.

I think Stealth on the CTS-V forum is my buddy. Is he from Texas? Is his car silver? If so, it probably is Robert.

I PM'd you are rate for an exact bench mark. We charge much less then 90 an hour

I would agree here, high out put cars are crucial to have proper alignment specs, and often times the additional power will distort the factory specs, even when you think it is aligned properly. Corvettes are notorious for falling out of alignment under high power application with out chamber kits, and I think this chassis is no different, you may need some toe links.
