Just curious why you went with the street vs race in the bushings and rear diff mount?!

@ CCA4 - No doubt!! I am very glad that the S4 guys started breaking these parts to the point that better ones had to be produces and that we share the same chassis. The Apikol rear diff mount actually cost less then the factory replacement. Go figure

@ chocalotstarfish - The street version is still a lot stiffer then the factory version so it will stiffen up the diff a lot, but since this is still a daily driver I did not want to go to stiff. The other reason I chose the street version is because I am going to install both of the Stern transmission mounts as well and again I just don't want the transmission/diff to transfer to much vibration into the cabin. Mike Hood also recommended the street version for my application and said that it will still be a vast improvement over the stock counter parts.

Very cool, I was just curious. I have the Race and it does cause a little vibration but nothing unbearable! Mike's the man!
