I was thinking the same thing. What do I need to do next, I was thinking of an LSD or a power mod next.

Although I only have a PROcede tune I think it is important to start car projects back to front. No point in power if you can't put it to the ground. I believe an LSD will make a world of a difference but I'm not sure which to purchase. (I haven't done a lot of searching yet for one.)

Save the money. Unless you are serious into track days it won't make much if an impact. The LSD or FMIC will make noticeable gains immediately.

If you referring to my comment, rear sway and subframe bushings should cost around $400-500. But first, I along with others, highly recommend LSD. It makes a world of difference. I won't bother with repeating what they've said, it's all true. Now, if you're not tracking your car, the sways and bushings might not be of concern. However, if you think you're going to drive hard, then you might as well upgrade those parts when you get an LSD. It just makes sense as you will have the rear torn apart anyway.

Personally, I haven't installed those parts yet. I guess I didn't think things through when I got my LSD. So, my bushings sit in a box. If I have a free day or two, I'll install them. For now, they lie and wait.

LSD

The 335i needs a good LSD even out of the box.
