Going back and forth as far as what suspension mod to buy. Never noticed it to much on the street but on the track it was horrible. That's right whee hop. It showed it's ass at the track. Skipping and hopping like a little girl on her way to school. I'm trying to make the right decision as far as which part to go with. I've herd good things about both but only wanna buy the best product that will eliminate the violent wheel hop that I experienced. My options: steeda subframe braces with the steeda IRS subframe bushing support aluminum bushings or the BMR cradle bushing lockout kit. Or buy the BMR cradle lockout kit and the steeda subframe braces. What have been your experiences with these products? Did it get rid of the hop? My set up: ARH long system, stock mufflers, tune, cold air, currently on worn out 315 nitto invo. Not horribly bad but they need to be replaced. Please help . Thanks for your input

You should have decent luck with whatever path you go. Both good quality companies.

I am bias, because I believe we put more effort into eliminating wheel hop and increasing performance than any others.

I am here to answer any questions if you have any, so LMK if that's the case!

Happy Modding!

When doing the cradle lockout kit, do you also recommend doing the vertical link?

Well, I do recommend them.

But there is really no reason that I would tell someone to install them, due to them installing the CB005 Kit.

I usually recommend, in order:

CB005
BK054
Shocks
Vertical Links

Of course, there are other modifications, but there are great for any application.

We have some really nice parts coming out soon, too :cheers:

You can see my review of the CB005 Lockout kit here http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30897

The steeda subframe braces are not compatible with the lockout kit, and they wouldn't add much to your goal of stopping wheel hop at the track when paired with this kit anyway...the CB005 is going to have more impact than any one Steeda part as it's a multitude of them put together.

I am planning on doing the steeda differential support bushing kit next or the BK054, I haven't decided yet since they both claim negligible NVH gain which is something I am trying to avoid AMAP. Also swapping out the whole bushing for the diff is a lot more difficult than I can tackle at home. If you go on to Steeda's page, BMR's page, or another company called Full Tilt Boogie Racing you can watch videos that they took of how much the factory IRS flexes and moves around...showing you exactly what areas need the most attention and just go from there.
