BMR lockout or Steeda subframe braces?

[SSG 5.0]

My assessment with CB762 and cb005 are alright. They do help, but I was hoping for more. Maybe a few more suspensions and I’ll be satisfied. My tire pressure is set to 29 atm for street. Is that ok?

No noise or vibration as well so that’s good. What suspension parts are known for nvh really?

We have had plenty of success with our Steeda IRS Braces - the popularity among the drag racing community is also increasing.

Its a great choice - http://www.mustangandfords.com/how-...s-easy-to-install-s550-irs-subframe-brace-kit

I was following y’all, but it’s a little too late to go steeda now because I installed the cb005. I bought some steeda parts before, but the last suspension I bought for 2012 Mustang GT was some bmr. It was great so I took the same route. Y’all have some great product I know.

Honestly, it’s a great product from bmr. The twisting was almost eliminated although it’s there. From 0-60 mph, there was a little bit of twisting and sideways, but it was almost gone. Maybe a couple more parts to make me really comfortable.

My experience with CB005 and BMR vertical links has been less enthusiastic than some of the others on this thread. On street tires, they may have helped a little but I still had severe wheel hop at the drag strip.....especially on the 1-2 shift. The only cure for me was a set of drag radials. That eliminated the hop. I will say that the BMR stuff didn't add any objectionable NVH. Maybe a bit stiffer at the rear but not bad at all.

I might get the Steeda braces and replace the ones that came with the BMR kit to see if that works any better. I do not want to replace diff bushings, etc. and add NVH.

when you say twisting are you talking about when are taking a sharp turn? “And sideways” are you talking about under straight lines acceleration. I’m experiencing my own issues and looking at the same products for bmr and steeda

The Steeda IRS Brace was probably the single thing I installed that had the most difference in feel for stopping wheel hop and adding predictability.

I love the IRS bushing supports as well, as they completely stopped the driveline thunk. The other brand transmits so much more NVH than the Steeda's black inserts I'm using.

I don’t go wot on any sharp turns with my car. I’m talking about straight line from a dig or on a roll.

The parts I installed definitely helped, but just not a wow impression after. When I installed the bmr panhard bar and lca’s, the wow factor after the first test drive. The 12 was not irs though. I’ll try the lca’s and sway bar next. I think a sway bar is next though.

There are people here with way more knowledge than I, but from what I have read LCA would be the logical next step. After that I would think it would be differential bushings. Both increase NVH especially the bushings. Again no real world Knowledge, just seems to be the popular route from reading many threads.

I’ll try and find threads for lca’s. I ran into a thread earlier about installing some sway bars and helped a lot after installing the parts that I installed.
