Whiteline Parts day Pt II- Tranny Mount Bushing, LCA Relos, & UCA

I had this new bushing thrown on while the WL LCA relo brackets and updated UCA were installed and I am very pleased.

KDT98 - Trans Mount Bushing:
I was initially concerned about increased NVH, but I have no negative comments on this end. If any sound has increased, it might be a little more rumble from the motor, which I welcome - could be my imagination, though - it's not obvious. What is obvious, however, is the ease of shifting! I no longer have a notchy feel going from N-1, 1-2. I no longer have trouble finding 3rd at high RPMs. The feel is greatly enhanced with no negative consequences.

Revised UCA:
After receiving a notice of the recall, I lined up for my replacement. The new unit went in without incident and is performing extremely well. My older unit had zero signs of fatigue.

LCA Relo Brackets:
After dropping my car on Steeda Sports @ 1.25" rear, my LCAs were angled up at the rear axle, reducing my traction by a very noticeable margin. With the addition of these brackets, my LCAs are now angled down slightly at the rear axle and the car grips like a beast from a dig and on heavy throttle corner exits. This is the first time I've been able to feel the car deliver the goods without wheel spin.

All in all - a HUGE increase in driving pleasure and the feeling of confidence that I have while shifting and applying heavy throttle is something you can't put a price on. The car feels extremely balanced, poised, and confident. I'm the biggest fan of Whiteline's gear and have no regrets at this point.

If only you had pics of the revised unit, would love to continue using WL stuff.

I'll see if I can get under the car and take some pics. It's a beastly unit.

The redesign also features a cutaway on the mount that prevents the arm from contacting it on extreme "settings".
