Hopefully BMR sorted out all of the bad bushings that were cracking recently. Im sure they did, as they replaced mine free of charge.

^^^ Perfect example of service after the sale. 1/2 the reason to do business with anyone. There was a problem they resolved it. I haven't had any bushing issues. Installed the items on a 13 put 15K on them, and transferred them over to the current 14 which now has added another 4K to that. Just like the energizer....still going strong. Inspections revealed no cracks of any kind. Of course I lubricate sparingly and don't over lube and I use synthetic lube and not petroleum based.

Looks like everyone agrees then. BMR FTW! .

When you're ready to pull the trigger, give TC a shout. He handles our 1st and 2nd Gen F-body tech. He'll point you in the right direction!

I have been emailing him already. I'm getting ready to order the parts for the front end. If I don't back half the car I will go with your torque arm set up with mini tubs. But if I do narrow the fram rails it looks like I might have to go in another direction like a heidts 4-link.

Between the two-BMR. But check out Maximum Motorsports and Whiteline as well. Had very good results with both.

I messaged Dylan at like 5pm today with a question. Not only did he solve my problem, but he got to understand that if I was a mechanic, I would starve.

I was going to keep that our little secret. The other stuff I won't keep secret if the cops ask. Idk why you found that relevant to suspension, but whatever floats your boat "Dr. Cass".

I've been in the process of installing suspension parts on my GT this weekend: koni sports, gt500 strut mounts, tie rod ends, adj. pan hard bar, and soon relocation brackets and lower controls arms. Everything not Koni or Ford is BMR, so far the quality their quality looks awesome, not to mention the support, especially on a holiday weekend for their parts.

I'll have better impressions in about 2 days, but so far top notch stuff.

For me BMR all the way.

I love my new BMR upper control arm and mount that I just installed in my car.

I was honestly shocked at how much beefier the bolt between the mount and the arm is compared to the Steeda bolt I removed:

And to think it's all made in the USA, with NO copied designs unlike FUCK-UPR! ... that's a great bonus!


The fiancee has a BMR panhard bar in her Shelby, and I was shocked how BEEFY that thing is compared to the J&M panhard bar that I have in my car.

So to me, BMR = Beffy Metal Reinforcements :headbang:

Fuck UPR!

Both companies make good products now. I have a couple UPR parts that replaced BMR parts and have been extremely happy. They had better prices and better metals, and the bushings didn't fail on the control arms that I got. Still run BMR parts that I'm happy with.

I'll put a vote in for my new favorite suspension company though, Whiteline. They make some awesome parts. The watts link and sway bars are truly works of art. It's a shame they have to hide under my car.

Eww. I ditched my Whiteline crap for BMR. I had their first build of control arms, and they were garbage. They've allegedly gotten better, but I still won't use them.

I still run BMR control arms. At some point I'll switch over to the new Max-C stuff Whiteline has when the rod ends wear out on the current arms. I had a BMR watts and of course the current Whiteline...BMR's powdercoater is slightly better but there is no comparison for the rest of the product.

Thanks to all of you who show support to BMR!

Without you guys, we could not be where we are today.
