BMR... or LG??? Or whoever.. Whats the surefire method to all this suspension madness> lol. I heard BMR complete suspension is kick ***, so really whats the diff between them all? Craftsmanship? Longevity? They all seem to offer the same exact features, (i.e.- coating/sphericals/etc.)

If you were wondering the source of my question...i meant, street friendly-and accomodates a lil more than 400 hp...this set up will be for a mild drag car..but could see boost later on..i was thinking after the research to go with BMR...

It's more down to the design of the selected parts, rather than so much brand name, however I'd say if you should decide between the two, I'd go with LG.

I mix and matched parts for my car. It came down to how much I wanted to spend and what I wanted to do with my car.

I wouldn't use the BMR K-member (or any other existing aftermarket K-member) on a street driven car, just do a search and you will probably find out why.
