Default BMR L CONTROL Arm is it dangerous

Hello i am planning on purchasing a Lower control arm and a panhard bar.I seen the pics of the broken BMR tublar control arm.This makes me afraid of purchashing BMR supension products.I was wondering if the boxed version has broken before? Which lower control arm and panhard bar are good?Which one is SAFE?

Man I have never seen a broken BMR LCA. Was it anyone on this board? I've had mine for over 2 yrs now and they still look good as new.

I have the boxed BMR LCAs and have had zero problems... in fact, I've never seen a failed boxed LCA before.

Tubular Chromemoly BMR's (panhard and lca's)

30k of driving, autocrossing, and drag racing. No problems at all.

In fact, I pulled my BMR panhard to clean it up and check it out a couple weeks back and after rubbing it down with some towels it looked brand new again.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the Panhard bar is the old-style adjustable too. I don't know about the new style, you might want to go with a different brand or a non-adjustable.
