Current setup:
2015 A6 3.55 ProCharger car, 802whp
Rear of car:
Weld 17x10 w/ MT ET Street S/S
BMR CB005
Steeda Diff Inserts (black, standard bolts)
BMR Spherical Vert Links
Viking Crusaders (newer ones with the top "T" bracket)
BMR drag springs
The car is actually behaving really well as is so far, but I want to push it. I am in the process of tearing the car apart now for some upgrades. I want the IRS to be solid. These parts are either in the garage or en route:
FTI converter (off subject, but will add at least a little stress to the system during launch)
DSS 2000hp axles
DSS Alum. DS
BMR BK050 Solid diff bushings
BMR BK055 LCA bearings
FRPP toe tink bushings
BMR toe links
Steeda IRS alignment dowels
BMR UTCA064 Delrin Camber links
>> My question: Do I stick with the CB005 lockout that I already have, or do I move to the BK048 delrin cradle bushings? I am already committed to dropping the cradle, so it's really just a matter of $150 and cutting 4 more rubber bushings out. There is also the issue of NVH and overall behavior with my other mods. This car is only a weekend/fun/track car, so I am not too concerned with noise (see also: LT's, no cats, etc.). There is already some significant gear whine with the "hard" Steeda diff inserts. BUT...at the same time, if I won't really gain anything with the BK048, then I will probably stick with the CB005 I'm already running.
