Exclamation Suspension Material!

Ok, I'm confused, I want all BMR suspension but what should I get? Tubular, Boxed, Chrome-Moly, Xtreme Duty. Is it really worth the extra money? Also, who makes bolt-on SFC's and are they ok, I like the ease of bolt-on! Thanks!

it all depends on how extreme your car will be. youll probably be fine with some tubular lca's, if your going to get a PHB or torque are you might as well go ahead and get an adjustible one. i think BMR akes bolt it SFC's if not i know SLP does & im sure some of the other sponsers do too------------->

Why all BMR suspension?

Is it worth the money? Depends on what your goals for the car are and how much you can tolerate noise and bumps.

You should find out what you want to do, and then find out what you need to do to get that. If you are not willing to weld in the SFC then you may not need the rest. Do you want springs? Then what rate should they be? Shocks? It all works as a package. You need to know alot more than bolt on BMR.

I've heard lots of bad things about BMR stuff. Some things they make are good, some bad. I wouldn't go all BMR, I'd pick only good stuff from several different places.

You have to be smart or else you'll waste your money.
