CB762 finally arrived last Friday and was promptly installed. I'd say the installation was easier than CB005. I did one corner at a time and didn't have to worry about the alignment since I didn't have to drop or shift cradle at all.

The rear felt firmer and provided better road feel while driving on the city streets and highways. The car now feels even more solid going over the bridge expansion joints even at high-speed turns. The improvement is similar toCB005 but to a lesser degree. Overall, I think that CB762 is a good addition to CB005.

The kit comes in at close to 13lbs. The impact should be minimal since it's sprung weight added in the rear and located low to the ground. I think the small weight gain is well worth the improvement, similar to the front braces.

Nice review! I think I'll be pulling the trigger on this myself.

Awesome! Did it take long to install?
Not at all. You should be able to knock this out within 1.5 hours.

A change from the attached directions is that I opted to support the cradle by supporting the diff with a jack while I had the car on jack stands. The cradle didn't move at all during the install. Place your jack stands in a place that won't interfere with the holes for the front brace bolts (Image 6). It might be different for newer MYs but for my 2015, I had to use a screwdriver to knock off a piece of metal from the top hole in the cross member (Image 4) that was preventing the spacer from going in straight. Those who installed the Steeda Extreme G-Trac K-Member Brace on 2015's should know what I'm talking about.
