BMR Front of Rear Cradle Chassis Braces – Red – #CB008R
Reduce wheel hop & Kill cradle deflection at the source with the BMR Rear Cradle Brace!
The 6th-gen Camaro’s rear cradle is the foundation that locates your differential and rear suspension. When that cradle moves/deflects under load, you can get the classic symptoms: wheel hop, inconsistent traction, and a rear end that feels vague when you’re really leaning on the car.
The BMR CB008R “Front of Rear Cradle” brace is designed to stiffen the front of the rear cradle by tying it into the chassis with a heavy-duty tubular brace—so the cradle stops acting like it’s on a rubber hinge when you hit it with torque, sticky tires, or hard transitions. BMR’s testing revealed that cradle deflection is a major contributor to wheel hop, and they designed this brace to solve that problem!
Why this brace works (the logic + the physics)
Wheel hop is basically a violent traction oscillation. One of the big accelerators is compliance - anything that lets the driveline and suspension “wind up” and release repeatedly.
BMR attacks that by changing the load path at the front cradle mounts:
The brace captures the bottom side of the cradle mounts, making each front mount double shear—a stronger, more stable mounting style that resists movement better than a single-shear setup.
It also mounts to the frame, reducing cradle deflection caused by the factory mount arrangement.
Net effect: less cradle movement = less alignment/driveline geometry change under load = more consistent traction. (This is exactly why these braces are so popular on high-torque / sticky-tire cars.)
Engineering highlights (what you’re actually buying)
Heavy-duty 1-1/2" DOM steel tubing for high stiffness.
100% bolt-on design using factory holes + supplied hardware (no fabrication)
Durable red powdercoat finish (CB008R) for corrosion resistance and sharp looks
Designed and built in the USA
Typical install time ~1 hour
What you’ll notice after install
Reduced wheel hop tendency (especially with drag radials / sticky street tires)
More consistent launches and better bite because the cradle isn’t shifting around
Improved rear-end stability during throttle application and hard transitions
Better “connected” feel out back—like the car responds immediately instead of “taking a set”
