I dont have them yet but I will be getting the BMR Torque Arm, LCA's, LCA Relocation Brackets & Panhard Rod. I have not heard anything negative about the BMR pieces, everyone that has them are very happy w/ them. I believe ebmiller88 has the BMR pieces installed.

Yep. I have the LCAs and panhard rod, and I like them a lot. See the pic. The only drawback I have found is that I can't get a wrench on one side of the panhard rod to adjust it, you have to drop it by taking one bolt out, tightening the lock nut down, and reinstall. Really not that big a deal. Once you get it right, you shouldn't have to mess with it again. I know Spohn's piece doesn't have this issue, so definitely look there. Still, I love 'em.

I purchased the BMR TA and BOLT in relocation brackets. I didnt buy weld inones in fear that I would be getting a new rear end soon. The bolt in ones are perfect and they work great. No before and after times with them though, but from a stand still and mashing the gas I get a chirp and thats it. And its a mid 13 sec car.

Spohn's new design addresses the issue, his old one's have the same problem.

I got mine in a GP thru Chris at Nashville Speed. Each piece/set was under $100. He went out of business though, so you'll have to go somewhere else, I.E.- Thunder.
