Default G2 or BMR????

Hello,
Ive got about 3K budget to dump into suspension for my 02WS6 and was reading a lot on here and G2 and BMR seem to be the top two choices..Well which one would be at the top??? I am looking for the best stuff for street and autox.
Thanks

LG all the way. The BMR is cheaper, but it cant handle the stress like LG can. The LG stuff is race proven just ask Mitch and some of the other auto-x guys.

I wouldn't generalize so broadly. There are many options to choose from, and picking just one manufacturer will short you on quality or price somewhere along the line.

That said, if you have money to **** away, go with G2

I have alot of faith in LG, Spohn, UE etc. I personally have LG stuff on my car, but running ORR tends to make you forget about price and demand the best. I've never had a BMR failure on my car, but I only have a BMR STB. I started hearing bad things from fellow road racers and just kept away after that. Show me a manufacturer that races and wins with the stuff they manufacture and sell and I'll show you a loyal customer

It's been my experience that buying bargain basement stuff is typically "pissing" money away, in the long run.

Buy the stuff once, instead of twice ...

Guess i have a little of both & have never had problems from either.

Currently running the G2 Super Springs, ADJ PHR, Sway bars front / rear. ( 2yrs running).
BMR SFC's, LCA's.

work very well together...

Makes the stance pretty nice too.

Hmmmmmm...seems like you've said that to me a couple of times. I'm currently waiting on my G2 torque arm and some G2 poly/rod LCAs (I'll still keep my Spohn poly/poly LCAs around in case the others get annoying). Seems like I've been through a few iterations with this suspension stuff...

I wasn't suggesting bargain basement stuff was a good alternative, but that there are quality options elsewhere that can be had for cheaper.

G2 is a safe bet for quality, but you pay a premium. The bracing items like STB and SFC have quality alternatives and I think you can overpay with some G2 eqpt. But items like the lower front a-arms, aluminum rear control arms, G2 is a better, safer bet.

I've got a G2 double adjustable panhard on one car and a G2 driveshaft loop on both my cars, but no qualms about my sfc and stb from other brands on the one car.
