replacement bushings vs support kits

[Coaster]

Anyone else here sometimes have the thought "fuck it -- I'm just going to buy a 'vette and be done with this crap"?lol

I enjoy working on the car and researching mods. I'd probably not be nearly as happy with something that I wasn't modding.

I know... I'd probably just end up modding the 'vette too...

[MENTION=9985]BMR Tech[/MENTION] -- so Kelly, you seem to be coming out pretty hard for CB005, FRPP knuckle-to-toe, and your BK055's -- do you think that would serve be better than the other ideas being tossed around? How much more money would most shops take to install the more invasive options?

I'd at least like to know why -- money notwithstanding -- one product or strategy would be recommended over another, relative to a cradle lockout versus cradle bushings, or a combination of cradle and diff bushings. Or inserts. I'm going to go with the knuckle to toe bushings and lower control arm bushings irrespective -- it's the rest I haven't figured out yet...

For those reading, I recommend our CB005 Cradle Lockout Kit 100 times out of 100 over a poly cradle bushing kit. ;) Usually when things sound too good to be true, they are. But with the CB005, it really does perform as good and provides less NVH - all with an easier and much quicker install time. ;)

Do you think your BK054 is also the way to go if using your CB005 to keep down NVH, or would you use the BK049 on a GTPP for the highway, mountain roads and track days?

If you ask me, I won't recommend anything "diff" related to keep NVH down.

That is where most will get the majority of the NVH increases from.

However, once people get to where they have performed most other mods, I usually have them do whatever I feel is best for their goals. I have been recommending the Steeda Poly Insert Kit alot over the past 1+ years....but due to some recent events, I am just going to offer our own very soon.

My advice is usually, leave the diff alone for a while.
