Looking good that was my first full bumper kit on my GS. Love the look on a black car , hopefully your weather gets better so you can finish it up.

Installed the serial nine diff bushings, and wow do these make a difference. No more clunking when I shift gears and the rear end feels very solid. Definitely worth the money. There is a slight increase in noise within the drivetrain but that is to be expected with these type of bushings.

Did you have to drop the subframe when doing it? I've been thinking about getting them as well. With the high stall TQ and 3.76 diff, I get clunking/hopping in the rear when I take off. I also get some shuddering from slow acceleration from a stop while turning.

I did not have to drop the subframe. I cut into the bushings with a sawzall in a few places so that the outside collar of the oe bushings would sort of collapse. And then I used a prybar, flathead and hammer to do the rest. Not much room to do it with the subframe still in the car but it’s doable. I had a lot of clunking when shifting gears, and now its all gone. I would highly recommend these and think they would help in your case.

What rear bumper is that? Also how did you delete the second exhaust pipe? Did you re do it all from the car back or did you just cut it close to the Y and block it off? I love the way it’s come together.
