I did replace both of the rear cradle bolts (rear) and reused the two front ones because shipping took some time.
Might replace them somewhen in the future, they arrived after I was done...
I carefully removed the old bolts by hand with a ratchet to avoid further stress in the material. When I reused them I carefully just torqued the final pass to just 90°, no more.

Definitely worth it!
Yeah, that's what we were talking about, glad to hear it's working for you, too My car is much more planted with the lockout kit, which I'm very happy about: when I mat the pedal, it just goes without any wiggle, and it feels more precise in turns.

I didn't notice any increase in NVH, but the car would have to be stock to make a valid comparison, long tube headers and the supercharger both increased the noise floor.
