The car drives like a dream but I have a lot of noise from the offset bushings from Hendrix and a lil clunk from the axel bearing on the rear end but the handling is incredible with the aFe Coilovers

I don't notice any new noise, but my exhaust is basically a straight pipe and my engine has a cam. The car is insanely loud at all times.

I do have a vibration that I'm hoping will be fixed once I install my new axles and get my Differential rebuilt with a TruTrac by JRE.

I also have the clunk noise when making a right turn into driveways.

Hopefully the new Diff and the new Axles will help with those 2 issues.

Yea, I'm willing to deal with it. It's not my DD by any means.

Mine is not my DD either so I can take the trade-off for a performance suspension. The Diff bushings and upper Control arm bushings make a huge difference. I already had the solid subframe bushings and those made a huge difference and now the diff and UCA bushings made almost as big of a difference as the sub bushings. I also just upgraded the stock stereo to a high-end system with a Pioneer 8-inch screen with 2 amps and 10-inch subs with the stereo and my Boost-activated cut-outs I can do away with the noise. The only time I hear it is going thru a parking lot at 5mph and especially when turning when the car is cold it sounds like a tractor. But we can't expect the car to drive like stock with all the upgrades we do for performance. So if you are on the fence about swapping bushings be aware there is a lot of noise that comes with them.
