BMR CTS-V suspension kit questons ? Well guys Im getting ready to help a friend who owns a CTS-V out with some nice horsepower add-ons and am looking at adding some BMR suspension goodies. Im looking for actual people that have this stuff installed not opionions Thanks
Questons :
Has anyone added any of these components to their car to aid in wheelhop reduction?
How well did it work?
How much of an increase in noise and decrease in ride quality did you notice?
Are the Trailing Arms a needed item for helping reduce wheelhop ?

I have the pinion brace, cradle brace and bushings. I think it all works really good, all things considered, the noise and ride thing is negligable, and it significantly REDUCES wheel hop,from what I understand the trailing arms do not help with wheel hop only handling, Hotchkis sway bars were a huge handling upgrade.

I have the KARS III kit, which is similar to the BMR AWHK + Pinion support.
Expect additional gear noise to be trasmitted into the cabin from the pinion brace.
Wheel hop is definately reduced. It is absolutely not eliminated.
Wheel hop can also be significantly reduced by getting higer Tread Wear tires (i.e. greater than 400), but what's the fun in that

Well thanks for your input but I wont be installing the KARS stuff since its not available. I had heard of an increase of gear noise after the pinion brace would you consider it slight, or a large amount of noise ? Wont be changing tires he just install new nitto 275's all the way around so he can rotate his tires more often....

I say slight, the diff is going to start to make noise anyway! you might aswell get used to a little. Which Nitto's did he use? I put the 01's on and love them, (when its dry)
