Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit
Reduce Wheelhop, bushing deflection, and cradle movement on your S550/S650 Mustang with a Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit from BMR Suspension. Built from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, stainless steel, and heavy-duty 1 5/8-inch DOM steel tubing, BMR’s CB005 Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit is designed to nearly eliminate cradle bushing deflection, which is one of the biggest causes of wheelhop. BMR’s CB005’s billet aluminum upper bushing lockout rings capture the inner bushing sleeve (front and rear) and the outer lip of the bushing cup on the cradle (front). The lower bushing locating washers (front) capture the bottom portion of the bushings’ inner sleeves. By capturing both parts of the bushings’ inner sleeves, movement on any plane (fore/aft, lateral, and vertical) is nearly eliminated. This assembly is completed with bolt-on cradle braces that replace the factory sheer plates. The large lug on the cradle side of the braces positively locates the cradle, ensuring it is perfectly centered under the car. The two bolts in the frame ensure the location of the cradle can’t change under any form of driving.
BMR Suspension designed the CB005 Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit for any application. This 100% bolt-on kit use existing boltholes and hardware, allowing for easy installation with simple hand tools. Once installed, the Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit minimized bushing and cradle deflection with nearly no change in NVH. (During BMR’s testing, no change in NVH was observed without accompanying modifications.) The cradle brace also gives a convenient, rock-solid jacking point on the rear of the vehicle. This single kit helps address wheelhop, bushing deflection, and cradle movement, unlike other companies that make you buy multiple parts to get the entire “system.” You would spend well over double the price, and those “systems” don't provide you with the performance and value-per-dollar that the CB005 gives you. BMR Suspension’s CB005 Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit is the only part you need to affordably and effectively lessen wheelhop, bushing deflection, and cradle movement.
Throughout testing, BMR has seen about an 80%-90% reduction in fore/aft and lateral cradle bushing deflection. A car with no other mods and stock tires that isn’t driven overly hard is going to see a 90% or higher reduction, while a more race oriented S550/S650 with sticky tires will see slightly less of a reduction. Launching the test vehicle at over 7,000 rpm on drag radials, BMR saw about an 80% reduction in bushing deflection. Through the testing BMR has seen a 95% or greater reduction in vertical deflection in all testing situations. When performance is a must, rely on BMR Suspension!
BMR Suspension’s CB005 Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit is available in black hammertone and red powdercoat for long-lasting good looks. Installation time is 1-2 hours. Proudly made in the U.S.A.!

4 Piece Bracing System
Since 2014 BMR has been rigorously testing and pushing the limits of the S550/S650 Mustang Chassis and Suspension and they are continually looking to improve upon it as each and every day passes.
Over the past few years BMR has seen an extreme demand for a bracing system that is compatible with our super-popular CB005 Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit, but making that happen while improving the mounting and rigidity of the IRS Subframe proved to be challenging. Our CB005 works so well that for the masses the redundancy just never appealed to us. The chassis of the S550 is very rigid, so bracing the IRS to the chassis primarily serves the purpose of reducing IRS Subframe movement under loads, our CB005 does this very effectively by itself.
After a few years of drawing parts up, making prototypes and testing, BMR finally came to a design in which they feel is as "good as it gets" when relying on bracing to add additional rigidity to the IRS-to-Chassis mounting. ADDITIONALLY, the CB762 kit adds additional reinforcement to the IRS Subframe itself by tying in to the front leg of the subframe where the leverage is reduced on the component. This area sees significant loads as it is directly in front of the Front Rear Lower Arm pivot point and just rearward of the front Subframe-to-chassis mounting point. In the rear we take the "zero movement" approach by mounting a SUPER heavy-duty plate beneath the sway-bar mounts and we then tie that into the rear bushing mount - it is locked SOLID. This rear mounting method ensures the rear of the IRS subframe does not move or drop at all under heavy loads, which in-turn helps with the movement of the overall system by reducing twist loads on the front mounts.
The best feature of the CB762 is that it will work on an S550/S650 (hardtop coupe) that has any aftermarket IRS component installed, except other bracing kits that use the same chassis mounts. This kit also works with most Chassis Jacking Rails, to include our extremely popular BMR-CJR002 Jacking Rails!

Double Adjustable Toe Rods
Launching harder, reducing wheel hop, and adding cornering consistency to your S550 Mustang is easy with double-adjustable Toe Rods from BMR Suspension. Stock stamped steel toe rods with eccentric adjustment bolts deflect under load and change the alignment of the rear wheels. BMR’s double-adjustable toe rods for S550 Mustangs (TR005) are manufactured from heavy-duty 1 1/4-inch DOM steel tubing. TIG-welded chrome-moly tube adapters with a heavy-duty center adjuster make on-car adjustments simple and easy. The open end is formed from laser cut, CNC formed 3/16-inch steel plate. The CNC-machined center adjuster has right- and left-handed threads for easy on-car adjustments. This design gives you a strong toe rod that greatly improves adjustability. The other end features zinc-plated, X-series, heat-treated, chrome-moly, self-lubricating, Teflon-lined rod ends. It also features 304 stainless steel, custom designed rod end spacers.
BMR Suspension designed the TR005 to work well in street performance, drag race, and road race applications. The stock toe rods flex under cornering loads giving you inconsistent alignment and handling characteristics. Combine this with eccentric adjustment bolts that can't handle hard launch with sticky tires, or high-horsepower applications and you’re left with poor performance. The TR005 allows you to fine-tune the rear toe settings for any form of performance driving. BMR supplies lockout plates to eliminate the factory eccentric adjustment bolts. This allows you to make all of the adjustments on the toe rod. Lockouts are used to minimize toe change and deflection from the eccentric slipping and losing adjustment. Cars with more than stock horsepower levels or soft compound tires tent to push the limits of eccentric bolts in rear suspension systems. Other company’s adjustable toe rods reuse the eccentric bolts, which only fix half the problem. BMR’s TR005 Toe Rods are a complete solution. This is just another reason BMR’s double adjustable toe rods are the perfect upgrade for the enthusiast looking to improve performance at an affordable price. When performance is a must, rely on BMR Suspension!
BMR Suspension’s TR005 Double Adjustable Toe Rods are available in red and black hammertone powdercoat for long-lasting good looks. Installation time is about 2 hours. Proudly made in the U.S.A.
Vertical Links
After 7-Months of testing Polyurethane Bushing Vertical Links rigorously, BMR is proud to announce that they have completed their new design.
These new TCA048 Poly Vertical Links have proven to perform much better than the factory links, while providing a zero increase in NVH. What sets their Vertical Links apart from the rest is, we designed our bushings in house to feature internal grease flutes which eliminates the need to remove the part to re-grease them. Re-greasing is very important with a polyurethane bushing design because it is nearly impossible to prevent push-out and wash-out 100% of the time on a bushing application that is used frequently in an open environment.
Features:
Street, Strip and Track developed and tested
High Durometer Polyurethane Bushings with integrated grease channels
Grease fittings for convenient lubrication
CNC Machined Beveled Bushing Sleeve for top mounts
CNC Machined lower bushing inner sleeves
