If you have the money to pay for it, you surely can have the same treatment Everything you want done takes a lot of time, especially the quiet car stuff lol
I used about 16lbs of it. The bucket weighed 64lbs when I first got it, and about 48lbs when I was done. So needless to say, I have a bunch still laying around....I hope it doesn't go bad quickly.

I used Quiet Coat about 4 years ago and it is one of the best things I have done to the car. Doors shut now with a nice thud and it is much more quite. Painting the tranny tunnel was a good idea as lots of sound is transmitted up from there.
Nice build!

David, I actually referenced your thread when applying the coating . Trust me that stuff is laid on thick. I applied 3 coats; waiting until the previous coat has dried to apply the next. In some areas I actually did 4 coats. Both sides of the transmission tunnel are coated, so hopefully it'll quiet any driveline noise.

Back to where we left off; Replacing the rest of the bushings was pretty straight forward. Since the kit came with the diff and steering rack bushings I replaced those as well.
Rear upper control arm with a new pillow ball.
::::Presses fast forward::::
I'll take more detailed suspension pictures in the next few days.
For anti-roll bars I went with Tanabe front and rear; fit and finish is great.
AutoEXE rear strut bar (hard to find)
Next up... Refreshing the brakes and more suspension pictures!!
. There is something about re manufactured stock FD's...DO WANT.

*Update time*
I forgot to mention I'll be upgrading the toe links and trailing arms; most likely going with Rotary Extreme units since they include dust boots.
Here is the front tanabe anti-roll bar along with the widefoot mount
Unfortunately I had to shorten the work bench recently, but you'll notice a new sink where the rest of the bench used to be
More updates to come soon

I had to edit OUR work bench; it does look weird but not as bad in person. I can't wait to get the engine and interior back into Pirate hooker; there will be so much more space available.
If I didn't see the Autoexe bar I would have went with the race shop harness bar anyway!!
****, just realized I used the wrong revision of our logo on those pics lol whoooooooooooops
