I had already installed tokiko blues, Tanabe GF-210's, and the Energy Suspension bushing kit, but my rear end still felt loose and worn out. (spare me the old homo jokes, I KNOW it's the perfect joke setup) I decided to go with the Montgomery DTSS (Rear steer) Eliminators, as well as the Subframe and rear Diff bushings. Instalation was actually easy. The hardest part was removing the old DTSS bushings. I don't have a press, and had to use a hammer and punch. The fit and finish of these parts is great. One added benifit is that the subframe and diff now sit slightly closer to the car body; this removed some of the excessive rear camber I had after installing the lowering springs. The only drawback is that more drivetrain noise is transmitted up through the semi hard mounts. The gear whine dosn't bother me. I actually like it. The problem is that now I can hear that my ring and pinion are worn out and have alot of play between them. Other than that, I love the new setup. My RX-7 is much more predictible and a joy to drive. (not that it wasn't before) I can't belive that I had been driving on the 18 tear old worn out stock crap for so long. Even my wife can tel that my rear end is tighter!

Yeah, I loved the difference after changing out a bunch of worn out bushings.

And the wives usually like a tight rearend.

How difficult are the diff bushings? What kind of work are we talking about? I'm really interested at doing that, just don't want to start something I may not be able to finish.

The diff bushings are easiest if you have an extra set of hands to help you remove the diff. The bushings themselves come out relatively easily. I just tapped the metal sleeves using an old socket extension as a punch, and they came right out.
