In '06 they changed the front bushing structure, trying to make it more stable, I had to ship different spacers with the few '06 and '07 kits I sold, NOW, since the bmr bolts to the front bolts on the control arm, I wont testify to a fit, but I do know there was a change made in general.
And Ty for the welcome back, I loved this place and miss being involved with you V guys, but since My fraternity membership ran out I kinda feel like a peeping tom. |

So if one has the BMR bushings, this kit will still fit. Correct?

No Hop. I was running the stock tire and wheel setup with the kit in the begining and then switched and again same results. | What were your times? |

It's the kars kit made from exotic metals. Hence the upgrade. |

My point is that this kit greatly reduces wheel hop, yet doesn't claim to eliminate it. So maybe if yours isn't bad before, it will be nonexistent afterwards. | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
