So as my insurance is almost up (I'll need a good insurer who is mod friendly suggestions?) I am going to start putting some parts together. I've bought the BMR cradle lockout kit this week. I was also thinking of buying the steeda diff bushings? Do these compliment the BMR kit? I also want to reduce the body roll, any suggestions? I was thinking maybe the steeda shocks and progressive springs but worried I wont be able to get the allignment right without canmber plates. I've never really delved into the world or handling always chased power but I'd really like to improve on the handling first! Ultimately I'd like the car to stay flat on turns without feeling the sheer mass tug from one side of the car to the other.

Fantastic!! Well looks like these two are quite well liked. I'll get the steeda bushes ordered.

You should fit the Steeda irs alignment kit as one of your first mods
This wont work with the bmr lockout kit I've got will it? I thought the lockout kit would do the same thing?

Just double check with steeda and don’t blame me if it goes wrong ... :cwl:

It is the CB005 kit you have isn’t it ?

Cheers,

That's right and the steeda bush inserts so far. Looked at the cb762 by bmr also but may be overkill for a street car

Steeda bush inserts and bmr cb005 does wonders! Also simply lowering very slightly reduces roll massively. Mine is dropped on bmr min drop springs so 3/4” front and 1/2” rear and it makes a world of difference

Thanks! Exactly what I wanted to hear! Any NVH with the steeda bushes? I'm planning on using the red
