[QUOTE="Jorday, post: 15363636, member: 37775"] Yup, that's the one I'm talking about. Yeah, I did lower the axle a little to get a little bit more room, but I only removed the shock bolts and the sway bar mount. Just those four bolts and it will drop down pretty far. For me, the trick was to us a good 1/5" hole saw and drill from both sides. Then, I used a small wire wheel, a little smaller than the diameter of the bushing itself, to clean out the remaining rubber. It worked out nicely, removed every last trace of the original black rubber in a few minutes. I was initially hesitant to mess with it because it kinda seemed like it was maybe going to be a pain in the butt to remove the original bushing, but it actually wasn't that bad. Probably no more effort than muscling the relocation brackets into place because they fit so tight lol. I was considering adjustable upper and lower arms initially, and I talked to BMR directly when planning this batch of mods. BMR said that as long as the car was stock ride height and it was always going to stay that way, then the additional cost of the adjustable arms was probably not worth it for me in their opinion. So, I went with the non adjustable arms, relocation brackets and the diff bushing. For stock ride height they suggested the relocation brackets on the top hole to reduce wheel hop. And he did say definitely do the differential bushing because the stock one is soft and the axle gets way outta shape with that thing still in there lol. [/QUOTE]
