Default BMR torque arm installed

Mmmmmm new parts How come everytime you get something new for your car no matter what it is you somehow think your car is faster

The stock torque arm weighs about 5 pounds while the BMR weighs about 25 pounds. It's good weight though. It went pretty easy.

It's the weight off the front that I am concerned with. I am getting the A-arms too so another 7 or so pounds off the front. I am trying to get the wheels off the ground

What about longer bolts you were talking bout? the stock one dont fit or somtin? I remeber someone telling me that I have to order the longer bolts if I went w/ the bmr t/a.
How are you liking the bmr t/a. is wheel hop eliminated? what do you guys think of thE random tech t/a.? lastly who has the best prices for the bmr t/a's. thanks in advanced

Well, I ordered the new hardware from BMR becuase they were better than the stock bolts. The are longer than the stock ones. You can use the stock ones though. I never had wheel hop before so I can't help you there.

wouldve been nice if LS1 speed told me this when i ordered mine...you really cant use the stock ones...the nut threads on about half way so your getting about 3-4 threads in them thats it...i bought some new bolts from a local hardware store so im hoping they will be fine.
