Mighty putty ftmfgdw!!! Brandon, why didn't we just think of that first?

Seriously guys, I'm sold on Bruce's kit. I wish I had the money to do the entire kit. Brandons cobra is BY FAR the best new edge I have ever rode in as far as no cabin noises, rattles, and ride quality.

And yeah, that car isn't going anywhere. We have the jackstands covered. It probably just looks sketchy from that angle.

thanks Ryan. It has some rattles now with the POS fitment of the MM rollbar rubbing on the headliner. It's nothing turning the stereo up or going WOT doesnt fix though. LOL!

How'd the bushing job work out? Hopefully I can come over tomorrow morning and finish everything up.

Hooray! It is fixed and back on the road. Still need to swap the front subframe bolts and paint the calipers but all that can be done later. We need a break from his car fighting us. For now it is back on the road and RK is happy!

The Steeda brace I think would have had a hard time but could have prvented that. I have turtured my IRS and still strong 40k Miles just hit 40 today

that failure had nothing to do with a diff cover brace. The diff had a brace on it. The failure was due to the stock rubber bushings allowing the diff to move too much too often and finally the rear diff support bracket gave up the ghost. That in turn allowed the diff to rock backwards where the side opposite of a diff cover support brace (like a steeda or billetflow) contact what was left of the bracket (punching a hole in it).............IMHO the only diff cover that would have had a chance to live through that would be the new Fore unit. Still though...........who would want to put some nasty gash into their awesome looking but expesive Fore diff cover.
