Sneak Peak - BMR's New S197 Rear Sway Bar

[BMR Tech]

Decided to show a few shots of our bar in testing.

Lightest bar on the market - per stiffness availability.

Retains OEM Mounting style - minimal added weight to axle!

Clears wider tires, eliminates need for Sway Bar Relocation Brackets.

Direct fit with BMR LCA Relocation Brackets.

Direct fit for OEM cars.

Easy fit for "other" brands LCA Relocation Brackets.

Built to clear the BMR Watts Link, that is in development as I type.

EXCELLENT upgrade for those who have a street car, and don't quite need a "Drag" Anti-Roll Bar! The stiffest setting will be great for a drag car, or a serious road course set-up.

I will release rates once we finalize the design, before the official product release.

*These pics are not final. the End-Links will likely be a "connecting rod" design, made from Black Anodized Billet Aluminum. Only the best from BMR.










Going to be a great 2014 for BMR and our customers!

Looking good Kelly!

Utterly brilliant design.

 

[BMR Tech]

Utterly brilliant design.

Thanks Vince.

We are pulling out all the stops now.

People are going to really go nuts when they see our Watts..

 

[DRock]

Looks beautiful!

 

[69Mach1-409]

Very nice!

 

[86GT351]

Looks good. The extra bolt hole locations at the mounting point/s are for adapting to thers location brackets?

 

[Rasmus]

It's been a while since I've looked under mine; will it clear the convertible braces? Almost looks like it, but not sure.

 

[csamsh]

Nice to see new ideas. Gotta see that Watt's now too...

 

[BMR Tech]

Thanks guys!

As for the Verts, we will be test fitting soon. I am not sure if this fits, or not.

 

[Rasmus]

Feel free to send one this way for a test fitting. Car is already sitting on jackstands.

 

[Sky Render]

When are the new sways going to be available to the public?

 

[BMR Tech]

No official ETA.

I'd say about 2 months, or so.

 

[barbaro]

Yes, "Utterly Brilliant".

 

[BMR Tech]

Thanks everyone.

I should have a total weight soon, as well.

The bar alone, is only 7lbs.

We are very excited about releasing this item.

 

[BMR Tech]

OH....and the rates, at this point:

Hole 1 - 272 (Laguna Seca-ish)
Hole 2 - 319
Hole 3 - 378
Hole 4 - 457

Very nicely done! It's hard to tell from the camera angle, but it looks like the Cortex passenger side drop bracket might be close... It also doesn't look like the FRPP reloc brackets are going to work unless the lower holes are used.

 

[B2B]

oops. double tap...

 

[BMR Tech]

The brackets pictured, are NOT final production pieces. They are simply test pieces.

We would never, ever ever make a part so blatantly incompatible with another part we make. I should have clarified a little more in the first post.

The only reason I would see, that they wouldn't be a direct fit for the FRPP LCA Brackets, is because FRPP's pieces don't extend up to the damper weight bolt hole. The Sway Bars will fit nicely with all of the LCA Brackets that utilize the damper bolt hole like ours/BMR, WL, UMI, etc.

The people who have CHE, Steeda, FRPP, etc - will need to add some washers to get the mating surfaces right.

 

[BMR Tech]

And yeah....

That Cortex Watts won't work with this Rear BMR Bar.

That's a bummer.

Fortunately, I am aiming at a $500 target for our Watts...so it may make it easier on some people, who want to run all of the stuff we are releasing in 2014 (all handling specific items - finally)
