madman
madman I have a bmr x-treme duty tourque arm that is not installed. I am putting the new rear in the car next week and I was going to put the tq arm in with it. The car is then going to a chasis shop t0 get the 25.5 cage. The chasis builder said something about not having the tq arm installed because the new 25.5 rules may require him to not use the bmr bar that welds to the subframes. I know you are up to speed on the bew rules. Does this sound right to you, or should I just put the tq arm in??
thanks

if the cage ties into the subframes (as i would hope it would) i dont see why it would be a problem. any sway bar that would be put in a car with a 25.5 or more would be fixed to the cage anyways. personally i wouldnt use the bmr in your case regardless sounds as if your building a pretty stout car, i would recommend somthing more custom to your chasiss. might get more potential from it. speaking from my experince swaping my bmr out improved 60' times dramatically
The BMR crossmember is legal if installed correctly. The Blue Goose is also correct in that I think a custom arm for your chassis would be a better idea.
thanks guy's, I appreciate the feedback. I will probably install it myself and if I am not happy with it, I will change it then. With the price of the 25.5 I want to do as much to the car myself to save some cash.
The crossmember has to be notched and attached to the subframes. It cant be installed like BMR says to for a 25.5
