Went over to 99HOSS's place and met up with Doug97SS for a "rear suspension upgrade day." Installed BMR tubular control arms and a BMR tubular panhard rod. The install went off without a hitch, and took about an hour and a half. Everything lined up just perfect and we didn't have to pound anything into place.
Very impressed with the quality of the BMR parts. Also like the fact that you can get the stuff in so many colors. I got everything in silver and it looks great.
Haven't done any real "performance driving" yet, but there is definitely less wheel hop on 1-2 shifts at WOT. Also the rear end feels "smoother" to me...probably just imagining that though. I'll get a better idea of how good this setup is when I go autocrossing next weekend.

Look into BMR LCA relocation brackets. Believe me, even with the Bilstein you could use them. I get a lot better traction once I added those. One of the best mods I did.

I'll be posting my mpeg of one of my sessions at Limerock from last weekend. It should be up early this week. You hear me really start pushing the car in the corners and hear the tires sing but everything hooked right in. It didn't get loose on me at all.

I have the Relocation brackets (bolt-on's) for my car and its awesome. I lowered the car so I needed to get the brackets. I think BMR has the only Bolt-on. Otherwise you will have to weld them in place. I need better LCA's now. Had Spohn's ADJ. but didn't like them. Will be going to BMR for the tubulars one next.
Joey-Red........ I BIG are the mpeg's. Did you find a place to host them yet?
