OP, resist rear M sway until after you have a LSD. Front sway's an easy R&R; yields good result. Rear sway + LSD after front sway is stellar.

Stock rear subframe bushings are an abomination and crime against mankind. $300'll get you M bushings + install tool rental from HPAutowerks. Far easier to drop subframe than most imagine.

Hava good year!
I am getting these bushing's...easier to install....by buddy likes his better than the M3 bushings (not saying they are better). I am also using the DIY tool below...worked on my buddies very well.
