Rear Subframe Suspension Brace
#31
I can't comment on noticeable differences between the solid differential mounts vs the OEM differential bushings since I didn't have the swap done as a stand-alone modification to compare the before and after test drive. Theoretically, upgrading to stiffer differential bushings will help prevent wheel hop and will keep the differential better aligned so you can properly put the power to the ground.
I can say that after the combined OS Giken and differential bushing upgrade, there is no longer any wheel hop when I launch from a dig and it feels like the geometry of the rear suspension is being maintained during hard cornering.

The braces are pretty much a knockoff of some we designed back in 2005. I decided not to market them, because I do not believe they are effective on such a small mount and since the subframe bushings are like jelly, so why reinforce them.
I will try to get a video of the subframe. IMO its just adding weight and removing aero on the F. I will be making semi solid subframe bushings shortly as now that our car has serious grip, the mounts are the largest source of instability in the rear.

Too bad the orange would be covered up by the aero panel. :-(
