Default Question for BMR customers

Do they make a quality product? I am looking into their LCA's and panhard rods.

They make a wide variety of torque arms, lca's and panhard bars.

The old design panhard bar was problematic w/ the adjuster in the middle. The new ones are located at the end where it should be.

Their LCA's are pretty much like the other one's you see out there

I have BMR crome moly LCA's, Panhard Bar, Adjustable torque arm and non-crome moly Torque arm relocation crossmember, subframe connectors and shock tower brace. I'm very satisfied with most of it. There are a few things that I am mildly unhappy with, but they dont have to do with BMR, they have more to do with F-bodies in general

I have every BMR piece they make for my car. And love every piece. Well one piece sucked but got it changed, A-arm adjustablity. Only gave me -1 negative camber.

I'm happy with my BMR stuff, but my car is more show, so as for the durability, I cannot honestly comment.

I have had good and bad with BMR. On my 3rd gen I ran exclusivly Spohn products, which I was and very pleased with. On my LT1 I had BMR products. Pretty good quality, but when I'm only pushing 330rwhp and snap a panhard rod in half then they dont want to help in any way. Well, not happy is to put it mildly. Anywho, I have friends that have had excellent experience with them. I still am partially to go with Spohn again or try out LGMotorsports, pricey but so far good rep.

I just received 3 of the 4 BMR springs I ordered from TBYRNE. To their credit this was shipped directly from BMR in Florida. Box was heavily taped and I'm finding it hard to believe someone swiped a front spring. Of course I will let all of you know what kind of response I get from either board sponsor ---->

BMR is sending the other front spring by next Wednesday. TBYRNE followed up on this real well. Many thanks..

Installed BMR rear springs and added 55mm Koni bumpstops this weekend. I will receive my orphaned front spring today (slipped out of the box at UPS). The fronts will go in Friday. The customer service was very good at both TBYRNE and BMR. After I install the fronts I will update you guys, right now I'm riding on a 2 legged horse, but it works.

Good stuff - not the best - but it won't kill you.

The older adjustable panhard rods had crappy ends on them - cheap rod ends. But, they've upgraded to QA1 Endura series (as have I), and they're fine now.

BMR SFCs and PHB. Just recently got the PHB, from a guy that had it NIB for a while..
Its the center adjustment, whats the problem with those??

No complains of any of their products.

Talked to the BMR guys on the PowerTour, very knowledgable and helpful. Guy wasnt trying to sell me all kinds of ****, we talked about various manufactors, etc, didnt talk trash about one of them. I'll be getting a TQ arm from them, aswell as a tranny crossmember.

My god... Someone once posted they wanted to lower their car. I posted my good experience with BMR springs and suggested he consider the same purchase. I nearly got raped by others on how cheap they are, that DMS is good and that Eibach is average (not too good, either) and that BMR sucks, and best of all... That BMR = Kmart. I'm reading all these posts and I'm pleased to hear such positive things. This thread is like an alternate dimension.
