BMR Trak Pak and Subframe Questions To anyone who can answer:
I have a 2002 SLP Firehawk which as many know comes with a lowered suspension as part of the SLP package. I have installed the BMR Trak Pak and welded in the boxed subframe connectors , the car plants like an animal .
Kudos to BMR!!!
Problem I am having is cross-member with the dip in it for torque arm keeps bottoming out when I hit bumps or scrapes like crazy on any incline.
BMR what can I do to avoid this ,has the extra weight changed the ride height?
Also the Torque arm was slamming into the tranny tunnel when i hit bumps, the installation shop had to weld braces between the cross-member and frame to stop the flexing of cross member when I hit a bump, that seems to resolve the Torque arm slamming into the tunnel and scaring the crap out of every passenger.
Any help is great!!

I had the same problem.Mine is welded to the sfc with a bolt on bracket & I made a flange to bolt to the tunnel. Where ever I positioned it the cross bar still scrapped over bumps.I got fed-up with it & only used it when at the track.Big ypipe doesn,t help either.

thanks guys, I called BMR and they were helpful . They actually do have a cross bar that doesn't have a dip in it.
The dip was built in to accomodate bigger exhaust systems so that makes sense. I think I will cut the member and put a new piece of pipe to get rid of the dip, I am hoping that 1 inch of clearance will do the trick. That was oked by BMR.
I will let everyone know the outcome.
