Got the 034 inserts installed. All the shudder is gone and the steering feels better too. Haven't hit any good curves yet but I'm sure it will be more solid. I was gonna install the m3 bar too but I couldn't get the old one out. Think I'll have to disco the brake lines to get the sub frame down far enough. I need to get new bumpstops for the shocks too. The old ones are pretty shot so I didn't install those yet. For the money and ease of install I think the inserts are a good buy

Nice! Yeah my rear bump stops were totally disintegrated when I did my shocks. When you say the shudder is gone, are you talking about clunking from shifts or something else? I’m hoping inserts like these will help to tighten up my driveline and will make the rear tighter. Looking at replacing my flex disc/guibo as well.

I had the shudder from hard launches and on power turns. Now it's nice and smooth

Nice! I'm beginning to wonder whether there will be any autoX at all this year.... seems more likely by the day that the season will be cancelled.

Sad but i have been practicing touge style driving in the canyons near my house, i usually dont because autoX is cheaper than fcking up my car but I have gotten much better at driving since i have been autox and took a break from driving canyons. Covid made me go back there and autoX helped out!
