3. I didn't want crazy NVH from the diff, so I used M3 front bushings and a stock non-M rear bushing. I bought a bushing press set from Amazon and was able to get them all done with the subframe in the car.

4. I removed the 12mm rear sway to install a 20mm. Honestly, the 12 was extremely easy to remove because it was so bendy, installing it shouldn't be a big deal. I did drop the subframe down as far as I could on the bolts just for more room but I did not remove it.
How's that 20mm rear sway treating you? I just checked again and the bar I have is 15mm. I'm hoping to install it but leave the front alone for now. Based on my friends who track their cars they say take it out to the track and feel it out before I do anything else.
