1) Does anyone know how this kit compares to the CB005? I know it's worse, but in terms of overall wheel hop reduction is it more like 60% reduction for BK053 vs. 80% reduction for CB005 or more like 30% reduction for BK053? And what about BK053+BK054 combo vs CB005 by itself? BK053+BK054 is almost half the price of CB005 after all.

2) I know it's not compatible with CB005, but can it be removed and CB005 installed in its place later on? I'm wondering if the steel inserts can be removed given that you need to use a lot of force to put them in?

I've got the cb005 cradle lock out and just ordered the bk054 lockout kit and their vertical links. If U want my opinion, spend the extra for the full cradle lock out kit (cb005). It makes a good amount of difference and works as a jacking point under the car.

Yes, but cb005 is not compatible with a convertible, however bk053 & bk054 combo is and is cheaper than cb005

Well Ya didn't state for the convertible, then in that case I would just do what U could to tame your wheel hop with the limited options

I decided on the cb005 for my vert after all. Couldn't pass up the black Friday deal. I'll mount it without the cradle braces.

That is the best way to go - good choice!
