Default Advice on further drivetrain upgrades

Morning All,

I have an 06 Sti and have started the process of up rating the bushes in certain areas, list below.

beatrush rear diff mount support bar
beatrush engine pitch mount stopper
beatrush change lever bush
beatrush gearbox cradle (mission member)

I was wondering 2 things, firstly does anyone else experience a lot of diff noise with the beatrush rear diff mount support bar? I was expecting some but it is really noisy so wondering if my diff is unwell.

Secondly i would like to keep tightening up the gear changes and response under acceleration what else to people recommend?

Thanks

Anything that stiffens up the mount will be alot noisier because vibrations transfer more to the shell.

Short shiftier?

Response is more about engine than gearbox.

Fair one, I was thinking of popping in poly engine mounts but not sure how much vibration they will transfer as the ones in my DC5 made my steering wheel look like a fitting dog.

thoughts?

Never bothered on any of mine. Unless your going to spend a hell of alot of money on suspension and upgrading the performance seems like a waste of time.
