Pfadt solid subframe mounts - who's got them installed?

[jrpxxii]

Sorry I just found this thread. I have the Pfadt subframe bushings installed and can say 100% that there is no additional noise and it dramatically makes the rear end more solid. I would also say that I do not feel it makes the ride any harsher and if anything, it makes the rearend feel more planted and solid. This is 100% one of the best mods you can do for the rearend. I did the install myself and it took some time but wasnt too bad. I have replaced every compnent in my cars suspension and it has eliminated wheel hop and I can now launch the car very hard with complete confidence. Hope this answers any concerns.

after many launches on the street and feel hat very concerning wiggle the car makes from bushing compliance i am certain that i need these..i have the lsr roll bars (excellent) the front strut brace from pfdat and now i want thse bushing...remember...when u have control that translates to more road feel...some call that noise, i call it responsiveness...but if u want power without control...consider smashing a jersey barrier at 110 with a stock setup...not my kinda party.... +1 for the bushings

It bears mentioning that launching your car "very hard" involves energy levels similar to a Saturn V rocket launch. If it works for your application and I don't think there is one it won't work for.





What I wouldn't give to take that thing for a ride.

Too bad the space program and the Saturn fives are dead :(

Back on topic!

When Spring arrives, bring your space suit and I will show you what it likes to launch a rocket.

Will do.

I finally have my solid mounts installed. I have to really really pay attention to notice any difference in noise. Performance is a different story. I love the way the car handles now. before with the tires producing ... some smoke... the car wanted to swap ends. In fact the two choices where let off or swap ends. Now the rear steps to the side just a little but very easy to control. worlds of difference. I have not noticed and rough ride or other types of vibrations. I tried topay close attention due to the questions asked in this thread. So there it is any questions just ask.

My car is at MTI Racing now getting a full Pfadt suspension, less strut tower connector and sway bars. I will post after my ~300 mile return trip tomorrow on handling and NVH.

I have the complete Pfadt Stage 4 Road Racing Package that includes the solid subframe mounts. I just got the car back this past weekend and I can tell you that it is a joy to drive now. The car handles like a dream and I have purposely tried to drive her off the road but she stays nice and snug to the ground and goes where I tell her. Next on my list will be the differential bearings and the rear toe link assembly. I am waiting for Savini to finish my wheels and then I head back to the shop for install, alignment, counter balance, etc.

NOTE: I haven't heard any noises so far but I will keep listening and get back to you if I do run across anything.

Awesome feedback guys, glad to hear that the subframe mounts are working out great. People tend to get a little scared at the word Solid, but with this particular piece it works out great for street cars! Let us know if we can do anything else for you!

You need to "ugly" them up. They are just too purty to hide under the car.

Worth every penny..... holds the rear together sooo much better!!!!!

Aside from the anodized orange arms that we use for the 3 piece sway bars, these definitely get the most attention from people looking under the car for the first time! It really is too bad that they get hidden once installed, but you can still see the bottom inch or so poking out from the bottom side of the subframe sleeve!
