The BMR BK063 is necessary to greatly reduce slop and movement of the OEM rubber cradle bushings!
Before Install:
1. Flat footed acceleration was smooth yet damped, almost like a roll into speed.
2. Rear end would move unpredictably at high speeds while changing lanes over un even pavement and become slightly unsettled over pavement lane reflectors.
3. While changing lanes quickly, rear end would catch up to the front end.
4. Taking sharp high speed turns, the rear would "waggle" and was not confidence inspiring.
AFTER Install: (seat time - 3 days approx: 50 miles)
1. YOU CAN FEEL EVERY BIT OF ACCELERATION FROM ANY PEDDLE POSITION!
2. Rear end stays planted while changing lanes over un even pavement with no lateral movement.
3. The rear end moves DIRECTLY inline with the front end during acceleration while performing spirited lane changes.
4. Taking turns IS NIGHT AND DAY compared to stock, confidence up 90%!!
Conclusion:
Shame on GM for not making this device factory!
If you have not done this mod on a regular ZL m6, you are truly missing what our cars feel like with hardly no wheel hop....this is truly a bolt-on where you WILL FEEL THE DIFFERENCE IMMEDIATELY!!
