Start with Kenny Brown Performance (the source) and go from there. Do a search on Google for them and you'll find other companies that re-sell their products.

I would love to hear more on the subject as well. I am trying to decide on KBDD or BMR.

BMR has great products, I have the STB and it is great. I know poSSum runs the BMR sub frame connectors and many have commented on how great his set up is. My problem is that I want the best, tightest, sturdiest SFC's I can get since my car is 2 years old now and squeaks and shakes are starting. Are the KBDD stiffer than the BMR? Keep the replies coming!

Whoever said you couldn't run away from your problems obviously wasn't driving an SS.

Well, I dont have any yet, but-

From the researh Ive been doing, here is what Ive come to determine:

-The BMRs are nothing to complain about- theyre great too. Everyone who has them, is happy with them
-BMRs are prettier, installed.
-Rather cheap in comparison, Ive seen them for $149-$159 for the convertibles
-However, logicly/mathmaticly, tubular (BMR) isn't as sturdy as boxed
-Kenny Brown's are MUCH stiffer, and probably much more dependable, as they do meet in the middle of the car too. The BMRs just go front to back.
-KB's arent as perty though.


So, from what I can tell, the KB's are probably the better bet for me, since A) I/we have convertibles and B) I plan on supercharging the car, so Ill need all the support I can get.

The BMRs are still GREAT, and of course, any of us, regardless of mods- will benefit from them over stock. The BMRs seem more for a coupe/t-top car with maybe some bolt ons only thrown at it. Would KBs be more beneficial? Yes, probably. Are BMRs a waste of money? Absolutely not, but just like with anything else in the aftermarket, there is definatly something better out there.

I hate to say, but Ill brobably get the KBs. I really wanted the BMRs because they look nicer, theyre cheaper, and I already have BMR hardware in my suspension hardware anyhow. But, Id probably regret not getting KBs
