    Did you have the new bushings installed by a shop or is this an easy enough DIY job?

    If you can get under the car it is easy. I had a local shop do it as I had no good place. I watched and it was simple, you just insert the bushing and that is it.

    Since doing it I found that it called for the sprint booster which I did myself and now I believe that a short shifter will finish it all off perfectly. Each item seemed to call for the other. IMHO

    Yeah..... Isn't that the truth. There is a string connecting each mod, and it goes on forever.:D

    You got that right Chuck. The DDM Intake is next (been hinting a lot for Christmas) and the short shifter at the Dragon. Now the WMW springs and sway bar package seems to be calling me. :eek6:

    The closet thing to it is the Powerflex lower engine bushing. It doesn't make as big of a difference as the one for the R56 but it will keep the engine from rocking so much.

    Thanks for the quick response Way! Since Sprint Booster is already mentioned in this thread, I should say I'm thinking about ordering one from you soon. Do you ship to Canada? Do you happen to know if huge duty fees apply?

    Yes we ship to Canada, you just have to call to place the order. We ship everything we can USPS to CN because it is so much cheaper. Our website can't calculate the shipping correct.
