BMR products

Anyone have some lower control arms from them? I'm thinking of getting the boxed control arms with the relo brackets. Just wanted to know you're input on the service and how much shipping was. Pics would be good too

If all is well with the lca's, I'll pop for a panhard bar after.

I am running the BMR boxed LCA's, poly bushings, been on the car for two years now still look new. I am using Spohns LCA brackets, they look stronger and are cheaper.

I thought I had some pic's of the LCA's but it appears I was mistaken, I do have a pic of my BMR K-member installed and my Spohn sway bar's/

I have the BMR lca's and panhard bar, I paid $60 for everything from by buddy's brother and they only had like 200miles on them. Not sure how much they go for brand new, but it was worth the $60

Yeah they look awesome! So does the rest of you're suspension Hawk, I'm jealous. I'll be ordering mine in the next few weeks, just waiting on the next paycheck. Does aftermarket sway bars have anything over my stock GTA ones? I have poly bushings all around but figured the sway bars didn't need to be touched. Also, anyone running a Spohn adj Panhard bar? I'll be ordering that as well along with the relo brackets.

I just ordered some BMR stuff. I like the product but you would think if they send you bolts to go with them that they would fit and you wouldn't have to drill the product out more to make bolts they send you fit.

Thanx

The Spohn sway bars would be an improvement, but its up to you if ya want them or not.

Upper and lower panhard bar's are going in it next year, along with a STB and ADJ shocks, so I dont know how much of a diference they will make yet.

Working on getting the 412 in and rolling by May1st, runnign out of time, lol

I found the LCA's didnt help traction that much, but they did help keep the car straight when playing, fishtailed alot less. I found the relocation brackets actualy did more to help traction then the LCA's did for me. (ya I put them on seperat to compair each first).

I took my car out for the first time the other day and snapped the lower part of the end link that connects to the control arm, bushing went flying. I knew I had to replace the front end pieces but it looks like I'll be getting new bushings for the front sway bar again, oh well. I'm caught between the BMR lca's and the Spohn ones. I know for sure I'll be using relo brackets but I'm still debating the lca's and panhard bar. Whats the benefit of getting an upper panhard? Where can I get one and does anyone have any pics of aftermarket installed pieces? Shocks, front end, springs, lca's, relo brackets, and bushings will be replaced this summer with alot of goodies. I can't wait...

I went with BMR LCA's because at the time Spohn didnt make boxed control arm's. I went with the Spohn LCA brackets because there beefy looking compared to the BMR one's.

As for upper panhard rod, BMR sells them BMR Fabrication Inc., I will prolly go with a BMR upper and the Spohn lower panhard, lol
