Do you recommend this? How did ride firmness change?

Well since the coilovers are adjustable I have a pretty wide spectrum of ride adjustability. I was a bit worried that changing all of the bushings I did would make the car hardcore race car stiff. Not at all... ride quality has improved handling has improved. I would definitely recommend a short throw shifter for the manual guys. I'm happy with my Hurst so far. The sways I'd do-OEM's are really ghey. Trailing arms, yes. Rear cradle, yes Installing the diff bushing is pretty labor intensive. The shop that did mine ended up dropping the whole subframe to do it. Overall the car drives more expensive. Which is good.

Since you are going FI, the diff bushings are a great idea. For those with less power, I think the diff bushings make a marginal improvement at best, and since they are a pain to install, probably a good idea to skip those.

G-Ham, honestly I have not been in that scenario yet so I can't commenting acceleration out of a curve. However, the more I drive the car the more I realize how much slop is in the stock setup, if that makes any sense. Yeah unless you're going FI skip the diff bushings. Knowing what I know now I definitely would NOT do this mod if I were staying N/A.
KM, truer words have never been written.

Ok, freeway on ramped it with traction control off. No more hopping around.the tail end just power drifts beautifully and smoothly. Very progressive and predictable. Reminds of an M3.

I have the Hurst shifter. Love it. Bought it for $199 on Amazon.com. Super easy (except for those damn springs on the V6) install!

Snap! the rear left coilover firmness nob came off. All other 3 seem to adjust just fine. This one did not want to budge. Hmmmmmm.

For not much more get the ER Series BC coil overs. You won't be disappointed. Much better ride for the money and still cheaper than the other name brands.

Day late and a dollar short my friend. Already have them installed. Lol. How do the ER series differ from the BR series.
