Default BMR mule

I have been talking to Dennis at BMR if anyone is in the Tampa area he would like to see what they can do for our suspension needs. To see what will fit our cars.

What all would be possible...

Front: Lower control arms, sway bar and end links, STB.

Rear: Laterals work, trailing arms work with stock setup, sway bar and endlinks could be upgraded, STB.

Could make it really rough. I don't know if anyone wants it that teeth jarring of a ride. Mines getting close to bad enough. I have both STBs and upgraded rear suspension. I saw some poly endlinks somewhere but damn. Poly sway bar bushings could be used also.

My Grand Prix has had all the components in the suspension upgraded and it rides like its on rails. The ride feel is from the struts and springs not the the other components
the other part make it corner better and the handling crisper. You can make it softer are harder from what struts and springs you have.

http://www.bmrfabrication.com/W-Body.htm. Those are for 97-06 Wbody. Looks like they all fit anyways besides the strut tower braces. Which I wouldn't mind trying to see if they fit. Do you guys think $500 is bad for all the rear suspension arms?
