Default Diff mounts/beams

Are there any options with uprated rear diff mounts atall?

just that mine if i recall was feeling a bit soft last time it was on the road.

And whats the best option to go for with uprated rear beams, and costs etc?

Has anyone had one fitted, and to what benefit is noticed within the handling?


Cheers

Kelvin

the diff mount can be replaced with an all in one cover for the diff too which bolts the diff to the car bacisly

don't know what that would do to the ride quality though...............

poly bushes for the rear are worthwile investments though, but they do need to have the rear beam removed to fit them all

The rear end of the car is already fully polybushed - just looking at upgrades for the actual beam as its going to be track based and want it to handle as good as i can get it on my budget.

But cheers anyhoo
