I agonized a while over which kit to install. I was pretty sure I wanted to DIY, but I didn’t want to get in over my head. I contacted a few shops around here and got quotes for the ZLE kit. All were north of $1k. Most worryingly, all the shops said they would just torch out the old bushings despite GMPP stating they need to be cut out. If you torch the OEM bushing out, you compromise the cradle.

I did the BMR as a DIY.

BTW - your Caddy comment made me LOL. Check my sig for why. I decided to get a ZLE for track and a BW5 for all other manner of fun. For exactly the reasons you mentioned.
