Default LCA Question

I just recieved my BMR poly/poly adjustable Street LCA's for my car. What would be better for my Daily Driver. Do poly adjustables run into binding issues? People are saying poly/rod? I want to know before i install these on my car. Thanks.

Hello, the poly/rod arms will articulate better than a poly/poly but for a daily driver the poly/poly is a great choice. If you decide that you want the poly/rod combo give me a call.

for a DD you should go poly/poly as noted above, rod ends wear out alot faster than poly ends... especially on a DD.

Keep the poly/poly greased good and you will not have any issues. Make sure you use a synthetic based grease.

Ask Dennis at BMR about the softer rubber bushings unstead of the poly bushings but just on one end of the LCA. I have them in my BMR adjustable street LCA's and like the results, no hop and the softer bushing allows it to twist just a bit so it don't bind and has less noise!

Glad to hear you like the rubber bushings not many people have tried them but those that do love them....

This option is available for all of our lower control arm and panhard rods.

Like toadzq8 said if you would like that option we do offer it and have for quite sometime. Just give us a call and mention that you would like the rubber bushings instead of urethane we will make the change for you.
HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
