Wow! I don't know the history of this rivalry but thanks for mucking up a good thread BMR.
Hopefully Jake posts up some more feedback on his setup. Definitely interesting info. I'd love to see how he likes it at the track eventually. I bet it does even better if it feels that much more stable. I actually think I'm going to swap my Vikings for some Menscer valved Afcos. Stranos look awesome but mine is not nearly the daily driver that Darth's car is and mine is 90% focused for drag racing.
That vid was awesome that Strano posted btw. Makes me want to try out some different racing.
Great work on the review op!

Man o man. What do we have going on in here.
Definitely want to see some more feedback on Jakes new setup. Especially if he goes to around a 350lb front spring just to try it for data.
Never been a bmr follower and this just backs it up even more. Props for Strano and umi working together on this kit.

It was. And it was NOT stock, all cammed up. When he pointed me by (after being back there for 10 minutes or more), I was full power it was all it had. He had to lift big time, which makes you understand how I was making my lap times. And it wasn't on the straights.

JD_AMG, you might want to know that Eric Kent is on F-body Empire on Facebook spewing this crap too. And get this, "Eric Kent: We've been waiting to hear from JD, who has provided no contact information". So you not calling them back to justify or deny in person their lies, makes their lies true, I guess. https://www.facebook.com/groups/7847...01106360351457
I've called Internet Brands about it too, they know they have a problem.
And ProStockJohn refused to call you? Well, I guess there goes his credibility.
BMR is hoping someone believes this crap, there can't be any other explanation. I suspect they see the crap many have fallen for over the last year or so and are hoping some of you are here. I dunno.
They owe me far more than a sincere apology.

FF1's are 19x9.5, daily setup with 275s.
FF4's are 18x10.5 with 275 BFG Rivals but I feel like I need more tire. These were to just get my feet wet with a stickier compound with guidance from Sam. We'll see what happens, I need to get a tire trailer so I can make some trips to DFW.

"Hi Sam,
Thanks again for reaching out to us. Our site manager got in contact with the admin and they decided to keep the main thread public because they believe taking it down would make it seem like they are trying to hide something. The thread will be locked for now unless BMR wishes to post a contraction.
Ultimately, the site team and the admins are on your side of this argument and we don't see why BMR needs to make such accusations.
We wish you the best with your sponsorship and feel free to let me know if you need anything else.
Best,
Tung Vu

I have a PM from "BMR Suspension" I have not opened it, really not interested in anything in there. Whatever it is, it ISN'T a public admission of their royal f-up and a spineless act to try and talk to me by PM. Until I see something in public, both on here and F-body Empire on Facebook, I will have to assume they are not interesting in doing anything to fix what they have done.
I am not wasting my time with Allan Miller or Eric Kent.

Hi Sam,
This is Pete Epple. I am the Marketing Manager at BMR. I am the one who sent you the PM. BMR will be releasing an apology shortly. I would appreciate it if you would read my PM and hopefully you and I can have a conversation from there.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing back from you.
Thanks,
Pete Epple

Ok, Pete. Fair enough. Pardon my skepticism given your are writing from Allan's account. Knowing that, I will check it out.
