I think I'm bringing bad luck to the R3V iXers. There has to be a way to fix this crap. No reason a CV boot should rip in 60,000 miles, let alone 600.
In better news, I pressed my delrin diff bushing into the 3.91 housing and threw it in the car! I can feel more vibration right off the back, but there is definitely a noticeable difference in drivetrain slack on and off throttle.
It was also my first time driving the car with the 3.91s and front CABs. This little round of mods made a HUGE difference. I'm very pleased.

I woke up to the iX halfway down my hill today. Gives a new meaning to the term 'neutral slam'.

Made some progress on the Touring today, and it already feels like a completely different car.
Replaced my front tie bar with an OEM piece (had a ton of play), replaced the front swaybar end links, and got a chance to put on my Bilstein Sports and H&Rs up front.

The old struts rebounded great haha.
Here's how she looks unsettled. I think the ride height will be perfect with the M Parallels.
Next weekend is SLS Delete, Rear Billy Sports + H&Rs, HD Subframe bushings, and rear sway bar endlinks. Then M Parallels, tires, alignment, and she's all done.
