My brother has the URAS pineapples (4 Urethane collars). He complains about diff whine, but its not that bad. Anyone with the aluminum collars want to trade? I hear that they aren't as loud.

I tell you what, if you have the time to put in the soild bushigns its well worth it, but you have to drop your entire subframe.

plopokiller,

doing the full subframe bushings from SPL parts is a very big pain.

The tolerances are so tight, you have to put the bushings in the freezer so they slide in easier.. tightnening the subframe in with the aluminum is a very slow and tedius process. it barely wants to fit on !!!

the noise and vibration harshness is about as bad as it can possibly get with a solid mounted diff now mounted right onto the body of the car. but the performance benefits are awesome!

good luck!
