My performance shop opted for the more labor intensive route of sawing the rubber bushings out, rather than heating up the cradle. I was totally ok with that.
As a secondary reason, GM probably also wanted to make the price of entry steeper to protect the handling benefits of the ZL1 1LE. While the DSSV's are more track focused, the biggest upgrade to the stability and handling between the ZL1 1LE and the ZL1/SS 1LE are those solid rear cradle bushings.

actually its pretty easy with a 2 jaw puller impact and socket you can just push them out.
