trust me it's well worth it. yes there is noise, yes there is vibration, but the car feels so good now, not to mention all those vibrations and noise really intimidate your passengers!!!

aside from the vibrations and the noise(which im now willing to overlook). what are the other drawbacks? why didnt mazda brace the tranny and diff in the first place.

like apex13b said noise and vibration. It's not practicle to sell a car that sounds and feels like a mac truck inside the passenger compartment

Dragon is trying to come up with a "dragon spec" diff brace. The one I got for Vosko was one I picked up for him on japan yahoo auctions. IDK how much Chris will be selling the combo of tranny/diff brace so don't PM me with price quotes. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif



But as Jay stated...the car is SOLID when you put the tranny/diff braces on. At a MINIMUM, I would suggest the diff brace. The tranny brace does make more noise than stock. However, some of us have solid engine mounts so we're not concerned about vibration https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

LOL,

When I put the tranny brace I got from Dragon on. My car sounded like the ass end was about to fall out.

It was definitely stiffer and pulled better.

But in my case it the rattle was so bad I had to take it off.

(and I doint mind rattles as long as they are not all encompasing, like that's all you notice)

So any one making some sort of bushing please let me know.

I suppose I could just go get some rubber from Home Depot.

Or do you guys think it could be in my diff bushings?



I still haven't installed the eurothene motormounts that I got from Ihor/Gotham.

Just my luck that i had to return the engine lift I had a week before they got here.



I would like to get a diff brace. Who wants to sell me one? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
