Looks great!

Questions:
What SVE wheels are those

how did you get the lockout kit working with the poly cradle bushings? Did you leave out the "support pieces" that go into the voids of the stock rubber ones?

How does it ride?

Did you do diff bushings?

I had the springs sp080, cb005 and steeda differential bushing installed by a mechanic in wave one. I would say deflection is reduced and after a self install of tc045 you realize the rear was truly a sloppy mess. Gained minor whine but very livable.

Wave two of the bushings, toe links, front brace, control arm bushings will be installed by a professional as soon as the front subframe brace arrives. Sorry I cant help but I do think the bushings are fully compatible with cb005 or the BMR specs would have mentioned this. Of course, there is a reason I get a professional. I am not very well versed with auto mechanics.

Are you saying I just need the rear bushings? I am getting the feeling its either cradle bushing full or lockout.

confirmed, either or, don't even replace the rear. I guess I will save the full bushing kit if i want to switch from the lockout.

Wow -- those wheels look so different on your car for some reason. I've seen them on others, and on the LMR page, and it just didn't add up for whatever reason... Thanks

Front: 19x8.5 (19.5lbs) Firehawk Indy 245/45/19 27lbs [46.5lbs]
Rear: 19x9.5 (19.5lbs) Firehawk Indy 275/40/19 (same)
Stock 18s: 56.6lbs each Weight saved: 10lbs approximately each wheel around 40lbs total. Steering feels amazing, and the whole car feels like it lost at least 100lbs or more lol. I know, rotors look gross, calipers are disgusting and might need to be lowered. Didn't see people running these so hopefully I'm one of the few that are.

I'm considering a set too -- so light, and inexpensive -- and I think they look good too.

Now I'm considering them also. Really light, inexpensive. I think I'd like to run a square 19x9.5 +40 with 275/40's. I can't imagine that'd be a problem.

Apparently the center cap won't go on in the front with the 9.5" -- check the link -- I think Niz did a test fit -- I want to say the center cap was the only issue -- some suggest that could be fixed with a spacer. I'm a little leery of spacers, and everything else that's mostly for appearance -- there may be a slight increase in grip, but not as much of a difference as a good set of tires.
