Is anyone else waiting on these to come in off of back order? I ordered mine about six weeks ago and still waiting. I know they've had an order crush on these since everyone needs and wants to get the ass ends stiffened up. I should be getting my car back from Ford in a week or so hopefully and am excited to get all of the BMR stuff installed.

They are rolling through production in serious volume right now. I believe about 750 sets or so.

We are doing our best to try and build them at enough volume to overcome the recent delays and backorders.

Hold tight, they are coming!

BMR Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit, Level 2 (CB005B)
Steeda Mustang Alignment Kit for the S550 Rear Subframe for BMR CB005 (555-4447)

NVH increased - Sounds and feels like it has 4 MacPherson struts instead of 2.
Rear is louder, imperfections in the road surface (especially surface grinding/leveling) are louder and more noticeable.
SO glad I chose NOT to install the BMR IRS Differential Bushing Lockout Kit, Polyurethane (BK005) - but that's a whole 'nother story...

On the plus side, the cradle is centered/aligned (mine was visibly off by over 1/4"), there is NO wheel hop/spinning and now I can floor it from a dead stop (street/Traction Control on) - which I could NEVER do before.
Handling and acceleration feel MUCH tighter.

But "No increase in NVH"? Not so.

Looking forward to see how it does with Traction Control/Advanced Trac off at the track!

I've repeatedly said that the CB005 increases impact noise, but doesn't induce any additional vibration or harshness. It should say minimal NVH, which is true, and the little you get is completely worth it for the handling and launching improvements.

Occasionally (pretty rare) people will report that they notice a slight increase in NVH.

I noticed zero in my 2015. On my 2016 GTPP, I did notice an increase in NVH, ONLY when hitting surface imperfections.

Enjoy!

Yes, WELL worth the install.
The solid/planted feel of the rear is so much better.

I think they're catching up. Mine took two months and is supposed to be here today. My other parts were lonely too and I'll be installing everything this weekend. Can't wait!

Today I added the CB005, Vertical Links and SP080’s. I love the way the car sits. No added NVH and it feels so much more solid and planted!

One issue we ran into was on the drivers side. The cup will not sit flush despite everything we tried. We had everything loose, tried taking off the passenger side and starting on drivers side first, tried pry bars, nothing seemed to allow it to seat properly. We confirmed the bolts were going in on their own without the kit (they did) and then ended up just installing it as is. The bolts all went in easily and allowed themselves to be tightened to spec so for some reason it just will not sit flush. The pics below illustrate it. Two drivers side and the perfect passenger side.

Any ideas as to why it happened?

I think it should fit flush and I would call BMR.
These lockout kits can be a tough install at times.
