Polls are always good to see! Thanks OP! I can only hope we can atleast stay on the chart on this one. Little ole BMR, I would not expect us to compare in a poll such as this.

These mods in bold that I suggested do a great job.

The issue I have with packages out there is that parts are thrown in for convenience to the consumer, and for the seller to make more money. While this is a solid approach, it's just not my style. For example, I believe most people do not need toe rods or centering sleeves etc.

I like to treat customers more like a boutique would - where they tell me what they are aiming for, and I help them get there. MOST of the time I start slow, as I like to get results without the end user over spending.

I usually tell people to start with the CB005 and one other supporting mod. The BEST two mods to start are the CB005 and the BK055, but I realize not everyone will just hop right on the LCA Bearing train as it can be expensive and is tedious work.

For those who want a quick easy install, I like the following in order.

CB005 Cradle Lockout
TCA045 Vert Links
M-5A460-M Ford Toe Bearings
...and BK051 Diff Inserts if NVH is not a concern.

When it comes to NVH, comfort, noise, what is your honest opinion on the RLCA bearing kit?

I don't find it to increase much NVH at all, personally.

The only thing I typically notice the most is just like with the CB005, the harshness when cruising and hitting a change of surface.

This is my experience as well. I would say the benefits far out weigh the negatives but I haven't seen any negatives. Do it!

And it looks like a lot of that can be minimized significantly with changing the shock mounts, per all the folks who've installed both.

Steeda mounts solve it. Maybe I'll make a video someday soon with a passenger as the rater, same roads, to do a test - if that'd be believable.

I ordered some mounts and they will be here tomorrow. Hope to put them on Friday and see if it makes a difference. I have GT350R rear springs, toe link bearings, vert links, CB005, and Steeda Alignment dowels with Steeda Fixed shocks. I do notice some bounce/oscillation at low speeds so we will see if this fixes or helps.

Both are for 10 mm but the thread pitch between the shocks are different (stock/FRPP vs. non-adjust Pro-Action or Koni).

Appreciate your voice on this as I'm getting my list together and checking it twice before I make my purchases!

You would have to call Steeda to make sure.

Viking is going to be releasing their own upper shock mounts in a few months.
