Default Rear differential bushing upgrade

Yo! I have noticed some undesireable axle hop/play when driving aggressively that I would like to eliminate. I am gearing up my mostly stock 01 for a laguna seca track day on june 30 and am considering hassport bushing kit for my rear end. This car is mostly for street use, but that may change. Thinking of going with the U70A option..

Any suggestions of diff mounts or other brace options?

Cheers,
Adam

I recently ordered the spoon diff mounts to match my spoon engine and trans mounts but I haven't gotten the diff mounts yet. Another local guy has the innovative diff mounts on whatever their softest one is (which is still stiffer than stock) and likes them. He said their is a little more vibration but its not bad.

Another option: Go Tuning Unlimited

I have this and OEM mounts on my S2000.

Yeah but you’d need to replace the worn oem mounts and then add that I would think. Sort of a bandaid on the blown out existing mounts.

I was happy with my Megan Racing/Hardrace diff mounts. Not much added vibration and seemed to help feel what the rear was doing.

Hasport rear diff mounts. And you can get them in different durometers.

For some rear bracing, I liked the Beatrush rear brace. Just get better grade 8 fasteners. The ones that come with the brace are lower grade and too weak.

Thanks for the feedback gents - I ended up going with the Hasport “race” 70A option.

I am intrigued by the gotuning diff brace - are you pleased with it? Looks badass

The Beatrush rear brace? I like it. It's not a night and day type difference, but subtle and noticeable. The rear just feels that bit more stable when it comes to cornering on rougher roads.
