Getting ready to install Solid cradle bushings ? Hotckis brace
Hi, I am getting ready to install aluminum Cradle bushings, Should i leave the Hotckis Chaise brace off or should I reinstall it? I really like this brace but I am not sure if it will be doing anything after Solid bushings.

While I don’t have the brace, I would leave it on.
You’ll love the solid bushings no matter what you decide. Those and offset differential bushings transformed my car.

You need the offset differential bushings even with the solid cradle bushings. The most important thing those offset bushings do is correct the cv axle angle. I busted two axles on the street before going to offset bushings - I’ve not had an issue since even at the drag strip and multiple road course sessions.

Yeah I'll do them at some point, I just don't feel like dropping the Diff again just yet, Next time I am doing something back there or if I am bored I'll do it.
