The installation was not nearly as bad as expected. I installed in my carport as I had a vehicle on the lift at the shop and got impatient.

I dropped the cradle vs cutting the bolt on the front arm, and did the BMR cradle lockout while I had it down.

Can defiantly tell a difference on the road. Where it used to just blow the tires at anything below 60ish you can hit it from 30, they will spin a little then grab whereas before the spinning just continued to get worse.

Hopefully I can get to the track tomorrow and see if this cured my wheel hop issue.

Overall even having to go back to the shop to grab the cradle lockout (deciding to do it at the same time was an afterthought) Id say total install time was around 4-4.5 hrs and I was defiantly taking my time

Great that you got it done and the cradle lockout as well......I swear mine tracks truer than ever before , and was able to get aligned to a perfect setting.....front right and rear left were so far out of whack it is surprising I made it straight down the track at all

Nice! Seems to be a common thing with this kit is it wasn't as bad as expected. Most projects are the opposite.

Isnt that the truth, I had some time, but really needed to be around the house. I was expecting the worst, but it wasnt bad at all. Worst part was getting the front bolt out on the drivers side

I'm curious if this adds to the noise/harmonics in the car. Definitely getting the AAD rear arms soon and strongly considering the cradle lockout. Wheelhop is not too bad on my car, but I want none. The front AAD arms are a game changer on the road course. Thanks for posting.

I noticed no noise from the rear AAD kit.

I didn't notice any noise or anything either. You can for sure tell the rear is firmed up, but not in a harsh way if that makes sense.

No noise at all and the rear feels more planted after doing the AAD drag pack and bmr cradle lockout kit.

What makes the fronts a game changer, the availability of more negative camber?

Actually no. The factory camber settinf of -1.5-2.0 is fine IMO. What makes the difference is these UCAs do not have rubber bushings, these are more like spherical rod bearinfs that do not flex, so they hold rhe camber when under pressure of significant turning force. The stock pieces allow the wheel to roll onto the outside shoulder of the tire, chewing up that shoulder. These arms prevent that.
The standard version of the UCAs are good for the stock range negative as far negative as they will adjust. If you want less (more negative) than stock go with the shorter autocross arms. Mine are max'd negative and ~ -2° is it, which I think still works well for me so far. My best lap time so far at Sebring is 2:335, but as soon as the nut behind the wheel gets sorted it will be faster!

Do you have a part number from BMR for the kit you installed, and is it the same kit for front and rear cradles?
Just ordered the AAD Drag Pack kit and might as well knkck that out while I'm at it.
Thanks

Front and rear, or is it just a rear thing? Pardon my ignorance, thanks. Obviously rear while I'm installing the AAD bits.

I only did the lockout on the rear cradle. IMO the front K member doesn't take the abuse the rear does. The front doesn't have any bushings.

Unless you're asking front or rear bushings on the rear cradle. In that case, all of them
