BMR Cradle Braces

Has anyone done this and tracked their car before and after?

Is there a difference in the rear cradle? I think only the sway bars are different.

I think the eLSD has something on the factory crossmember right near where the BMR brace passes by the center.

Is yours a 1LE or a regular SS. Correct me if I am wrong but the 1LE has the same rearend as the ZL1.

Yeah I think at least 1 of the mounting points BMR would have you use is occupied.

You could always try a longer bolt or some other solution, but something tells me BMR would be selling the specific part for the eLSD application if it were that easy.

I am struggling with keeping the tires from spinning at launch running 305/35/20 ET Streets - minor spin compared to prior tires, but I still can't launch the car consistently. I don't have any wheel hop issues so not sure if these would help my situation.
