I emailed them about the AA008 arms and the tubular k-member that they provide a link for but goes nowhere.
I'll let you guys know what I find out.

you could also get coilovers ($395) and tubular A-arms with ball joints and poly bushings ($295) for less than you can from BMR.

I dont want coilovers.
If I did I'd buy the spohn one.
If youre referring to pa/pro fab....I'd get the spohn ones before them.
Going by what bmr says, their a-arms are 4 lbs lighter per side than the spohn ones.
If I can get them with the moog ball joints and delrin bushings like spohn offers then that would be all the better.
If not, maybe I can order them without them for less and add my own.

Their response:
"Sorry we do not have that info available yet. The R&D guys should get it done very soon then it will all be posted on our website. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks,
BMR Sales"

My email to them:
"I'm interested in your oe replacement a-arms (AA008) for my 91 camaro.
Can you send me some pics of them since it won't let me view them on your site?
Do they include the ball-joints? If so, what brand do you use?
Do they use stock sized bushings? Is a delrin bushing available?
If nececessary would it be possible for me to get a pair without the bushings and ball-joints?
Also, you list a link for tubular k-members for my car, but it doesn't pull anything up. Can you give me more info regarding these.
I'm looking for an oe replacement one that is suitable for road racing.
Thanks,
Dwain Brammer"

They sure are helpful. What's the point of putting it on the website if it isn't ready yet or you can't answer any questions about it? That makes as much sense to me as wiping your butt before you poo.

Probably why they break. Go search for problems with BMR products on other boards, especially if you plan on using these for road racing/open track events.

After listening to some fourth gen owners, I'd never run any of their front suspension stuff again.

Interesting, it looks like QA1 springs in the pic. Wonder if they are?
