BMR, what's the status on the drop A-arms? I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to know more about them.
The more info the better, and some photo's of the A-arms, including cars with them would be great!

So maybe they don't exist?

Anybody else recall BMR stating they had drop (front) lower A-arms(93-02 f-body)?

I sure do.

Maybe they still out on the street /track testing them? I don't see a drop lower A arm to be beneficial to our cars. Kinda see issues with ground clearance. The lowers I liked were offered by LG. But are no longer being made.

I'm mainly just curious, BMR brought it up in another lowering thread, and said they already have them, but they don't have them up on their website yet and have yet to put out anymore info about them.

No ground clearance issues. The bottom side of the A-arm is in the same location as our standard height A-arm design.

Prototype testing was completed on Friday. I am told that everything went perfect. I was at the LSX Shoot Out, so I still need to review the results before we start to manufacture the parts.

Everything we make is jig-welded, so we still need to make the welding jig (can't use the same jig as our standard lower A-arm). It should go pretty fast after that.

The point of the Lowering A-arm is to lower your car without using a Lowering Spring. This allows the shock to operate in "the sweet spot" in the middle. This A-arm lowers the car 1.0".

The lowered A Arm sounds like a great idea. I wonder why no one else thought of it?

Cool. Kinda figure y'all testing so no problems once fielded. The added shock travel is a bonus to prevent blown shocks. Will they be fixed or adjustable?
