BMR lockout cradle

[Toecutter]

As the title says. I have been looking for the BMR cradle lockout in the UK but have had no joy. I have managed to find it on American Muscle here;

http://www.americanmuscle.com/bmr-irs-lockoutk-kit-red-1516.html

My questions are;

1. Has anyone attempted to use the 6% forum discount code when ordering items to the UK?

2. Can anyone who has fitted the cradle lockout give me any further info I haven't already read or viewed from their own experience?

@Gibbo I am aware of your praise after studying your handling thread.

Cheers for reading.

1) i sent them a message 2 weeks ago and not heard anything back from them as there's some bits I want from there. Guy at nemesis should have them in "soon" he said he was expecting them in feb

I have them fitted (by modurstang) and they are well worth it,
car seems more planted and helps reduce wheel spin.

search part cb005 on site

An overlooked mod but well worth it

Cheers for the info. Will get in touch with Guy and save the bother of import taxes etc if he intends to get them in.

I have had these fitted as the wheel hop seemed worse after Whipple install,and it appears to have totally cured it.Only negative is I appear to have acquired a faint high pitched humming sound from the rear at speeds between 50- 65 mph.

It certainly tightens up the rear for sure, a good additional mod to do when lowering because it will also centre the cradle.Personally I haven't heard or felt any more harshness with them installed.

Having mine done at Modurstang next Fri, along with a springs, spacers etc - I am looking forward to a difference but given I have only had it during the winter weeks (and driven it sensibly in the cold and wet) I may never truly experience the difference

The differential in these cars whine. Stuff like BMR lockout kit and diff bushing upgrades transfer the whine noise more into the cabin.

Mine does it at 55-70mph, so I either drive faster or turn the radio up.

I never actually noticed the whine until I drove the car with no rear seats in, then I heard it, put the seats back in and I still hear it, LOL. :(

Cheers for the info on the whine Gibbo. Not too concerned about it as won't be removing the back seats. The fact that it's only a cheap mod means that if it does piss me off I won't feel too bad removing it.

Thanks to all for the great info.

Toecutter,
Have you tried looking on Ebay? or Summit Racing?
I fitted BMR CB005, CB006 & Front/Rear Sway Bars (SB044 & SB045) in November, feels much more planted, but I have still to get a good 'race mode' play with it due to the damp conditions.
I've got a spare set of the BMR front & rear sway bars if your interested

I've got just the road for you Big Bear, when it's nice and dry. Going to get new rubber soon and set the FRPP sway bars to amore aggressive setting. I'll need to have a think about the lock out cradles

Whipple makes more noise than the diff bush kit but this mod is a must
There are other mods in that aria that also need doing to completely eradicate hop
All listed on @gibbos post, only thing I'd add if your doing Anti roll bars do the drop links
Too stock ones are week BMR do adjustable ones with Greece nipples very nice.

Do you adjust these the same length as stock end links?
