BMR's "CB005" S550 IRS Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit - PICS & INFO!

I'm about to order a set and I'm torn between the red and the black. Can you see the support bracket while the car is sitting normally on the ground? I like the idea of having the bright red bracket for when I take the wheels off or someone gets under the car, but I don't think I'd want to see it every single day (especially on my car which is DIB).

It's kinda hard to see. I cannot promise you won't see it - but it shouldn't stick out or anything.

If in doubt, Hammertone FTW. That's how I feel about it.

If you go back a page you can see where I took a picture of the brace after the car has been put back down. You can't see it unless you bend down and look for it.

Thanks for those pics Ryan!

Np, glad to help.

I'm sure this question has been answered before so bare with me . So I'm a drag kind of guy and I've been really interested in your product (CB005). Which I'm eventually going to purchase! So my question is, besides your guys springs what other parts would go good with the CB005? Helping out my drag performance.. @BMR

Personally, I like the combination of:

CB005
TCA045
TR005

Then the BK049 Diff bushings.

Then the Viking Shocks.

Those will allow you to go as quick as you wanna go - and work well, without being "too" harsh.

If you are worried about NVH....it's a tough one (the only NVH adding parts on the list above, really, are the BK049 bushings). I have had a handful of people give me feedback that the BK049 diff bushings were more NVH than they anticipated - with one person that was really unhappy with it. Most people don't mind it. That is out of several hundred sets shipped thus far.

Enjoy being #BMREquipped!

Again with those poly diff bushings they do increase NVH for the first 1000 miles or less. But after everything settles in you'd barely notice it.

The only thing is the slack in the Oem axles that make a clunk.

Thank you for the quick reply! Well I kinda do wanna aim away from increased NVH just because my 15 is my DD but it is something to think about... I think I'll just go with the first 3 parts that you had listed for now. Also would u recommend doing a aligned after installing those products?

Just got mine installed!

Now that is a rear suspension that you will feel! Awesome shot.

Let me know how it feels with all of those excellent modifications!

I can't tell - but did you did the Vertical Links too??

Yes sir, vertical links, end links, sway bars, bushing cradle, and toe arms. I love it. For anyone thinking about doing these mods, DO IT. The car is so planted now and handles like a go cart. Only minor thing is the additional road noise I've noticed out of the rear and a bit louder clunks from bumps and uneven pavement. But I hear that goes away with time.

Yeah, you will definitely increase NVH a little with these mods (and anyone elses) - but it's not really that bad. These cars clunk like crazy from the get go.

I hope you enjoy them, I sure as hell do.
