Exclamation Hendrix Solid Rear Cradle Bushings

Hey All, Jason here from Phastek

Have you had a chance to check out the Hendrix Solid Cradle Bushings? These are truly a work of Art. If you haven't seen them, here they are below. These bushings will completely lock out the Cradle Movement that you get when launching or between gear shifts. We do offer the BMR Cradle Lockout as well that fits into the Factory Rubber Bushings to help reduce some of the deflection. But if you really want to get rid of the Cradle Movement, then check these out.

Is the install similar complexity to the BMR stuff or is it more like having to drop the whole cradle with the other aluminum bushings?

This install is more complex than the BMR Lockout Bushings, you are going to want to drop the cradle to get the factory bushing pressed out and the Hendrix bushing installed.

Installing these isn't that hard and the small increase in NVH could be considered subjectively preferrable for a sports car, it connects your butt to the road a little more directly. It's somewhat similar to using camber plates up front and how that improves steering feel.

If you want a highway cruiser maybe not, but then I'd rather have a Caddy.

"Josh Talbot" in the comments posted above clearly has no clue what he's talking about.

An experienced tech could do it in 4 no problem. Took me and a friend 4-5 hours never having done the job, including fabricating a press.

After looking at the install for the solid ones we went with the BMR lockout kit which I'm pretty happy with. But these look like a great upgrade for more serious racers

I’ve had mine since last year, the time involved in installing has kept me from getting them in.
