Which one? BMR CB005 or BMR CB762?

[Stangalang]

Which one should I go with on my GT? Is one better then the other? Do they achieve the same? I want to be able to launch the car, safely. Or get on it with out the back feeling loose.

I personally have gone with 762 twice.
And have another 762 kit on the shelf.

They are kinda complimentary to one another. One limits the main IRS mounting bushing deflection while the other creates external bracing of the cradle to the chassis. Personally I went with CB010 and the CB762. IMO the bracket that the CB005 has that the CB010 doesn't is not necessary or in other words overkill. These two takes out the majority of the vagueness of how the car feels stock. Just a headsup, the CB762 kit might arrive bent or misaligned(mine did). You may have to bend it back to where it can be bolt up the chassis. The connector piece that bolts up to the frame of the car is kinda soft and it can be bent during shipping an handling. Not an issue though because as long as you make all the hard connections(bolts) properly, the brace will become solid and will do what it's designed to do. which is support and limit movements of the IRS cradle.

I personally went with the CB005 and it's night and day. Perhaps if I add more power down the line I'll add the CB762.

See sig. I have been very happy with this. The car is much better planted and predictable.

Sweet! I'll order it soon. I'm just adding on the X pipe next week, and then going to tackle ordering that and getting someone to install it for me. Doesn't require an alignment after?

I put the BMR CB005 on my 2015 and after seeing the difference it made, it was the first part I ordered for my 2021.

You will definitely need an alignment after.

Sigh. Anything else I should do while I'm there for inexpensive to the car if it needs an alignment?

You basically have to remove the CB005 to do lowering springs. If I could've decided which ones I wanted, I would have done them both at the same time.

To save labor and time, do any/all of these things when lowering the rear subframe (i.e., IRS cradle):

- BMR CB005/010/762 or Steeda equivalent
- BMR CB766 or Steeda equivalent
- BMR BK052 or Steeda/UPR/Whiteline equivalent
- Rear springs

Throw in the various rear suspension arm upgrades at the same time if you want to do a single alignment. Camber arms, vertical/integral links, toe links, spherical bearings, etc. Same for front suspension upgrades.

Did I leave anything out? Upgraded half shafts require dropping the cradle?

No you do not need to upgrade half shafts unless you're going BIG power.
