BMR anti wheel hop kit and front diff bushing? Took my V in for a tune. Get a call from my mechanic and he tells me the diff bushing is SHOT. He recommended the above items to replace. Any thoughts on these products?

Our cradle bushings eliminate wheel hop and our front diff bushing is the best out there. We have a Christmas sale going on right now too. Lifetime warranty on all of our polyurethane.

I put the BMR kit on mine. I got it stupid cheap used so I figured why not. It definitely helped and the install was simple.
If I were to have to buy new, I'd definitely go with the Revshift cradle bushings and front diff bushing first.

He said that in the long run, it will assist minimize damage to the rear diff.
As well as this :

Saying that it will eliminate the 1" movement of the diff when driving.
I'm not going to be dragging it all time, maybe every once in a while, but I'm wanting to know if I should just bit the bullet and do it all? The car is an 05 w/ 65k on it and I plan on keeping it for a while.

If you install the pinion brace and leave the cradle to bounce all over the place, you'll break the front of the diff because it will be trying to support the entire rear subframe on it.

I am indifferent to the different bushing vendors for this car as I have both Creative Steel and RevShift products on my car and are happy with both, but currently with the christmas promotion that RevShift is running you can get all of their urethane bushings for the rear of the car (Diff, Cradle, Trailing Arm and Upper Control Arm) for less than the price of the BMR Kit.

If you want to eliminate wheel hop then I suggest the 95A bushings for the cradle, diff, and trailing arms. I would personally go with 95A for the control arms too but I don't mind feeling the road a little more. If you are concerned with noise and vibration then I suggest 80A for the control arms. You may hear a little more road noise with the 95A cradle, diff, and trailing arms bushings but most people say its minor and its nothing to be concerned about.

Its not a kit but individual sets of bushings you order but IIRC it was like $297 for all of it after the discount when I put it in the cart earlier since I was looking at what to friviolously blow my xmas bonus on. Lol. You can do the pinion brace for some added peace of mind but many V owners have been more than happy with just cradle and diff bushings.
The red 95a bushings would be my recommendation but that is just me. I learned my lesson years ago on my M3 and went with softer bushings that left some room to be desired and I ended up spending way more to convert it all over to the hardest urethane or delrin later on. The amount of noise transmitted by the harder urethane is marginal at best, if the extra noise is a bother search for FuzzyLogic's thread on Damplifier Pro and do that or just put some big boy pants on and enjoy driving a performance vehicle that makes noise lol.
