It's worth the money. It's easy to install and the difference is massive. I looked at the 1LE solid bushings, but the money it would entail to install was $1K plus(labor) and not worth it. JUST BE SURE TO USE NEW HARDWARE. I think the BMR site has updated that piece of information.

Forgive my ignorance, what is the benefit?

- Drastically reduces side to side, vertical, rear subframe
movement - Reduces wheel hop - Rear end more planted and more positive feel. - keeps the alignment consistent during hard driving - Will extend the life of subframe bushings Just to name a few from personal experience. |

I didn't have wheel hop issues before the install and I don't really notice much difference in the pitch axis, but it is a SUBSTANTIAL benefit in the lateral axis in the rear-end.

Do you need to get an alignment done after installing the BMR kit?

I was wondering the same thing. It seems like, if you pull the bolts and install the little fillers one at a time and retouque the bolt before moving on to the next location, the cradle shouldn't move at all and your alignment should be fine.

These cars get knocked out of alignment all the time, like every couple thousand miles. I got lifetime alignment at Firestone for $190, and I am going to get my money's worth from them. Installing the cradle lockout kit should not cause alignment issues, but you still need to get frequent alignments.
