What lower control arms??

im looking for some control arms for my camaro, its going to get:
pro-kit
Bilstiens
lower control arms
relocation brakets
adjustable pan hard bar

Im looking at the BMR equipment, but im not sure whether to get boxed or tubular? what bushings or ends to get? Whats stronger, boxed or tubular? It's a street/strip car.
Any assistance would be great!
thanks much <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I have BMR tubular (with rod ends). THey are a little noisy, but the absolutely locate the rear axle (with the matching panhard rod...the rear wont move too far). Good luck.

Comparo ...

I had BMR rod ends on a PHB and it sounded like a munchkin with a ballpeen hammer under the rear of the car. Replaced the rod ends with poly ends. Noise gone.

I installed G2 rod end LCAs, expecting the munchkin to return. But, everything is quiet as stock.

I have the Bilstein suspension from SLP (similar to what your doing) along with the BMR boxed LCA's & didn't notice any difference in ride at all & hardly any noise increase with the poly/rubber bushing set-up. I installed the LCA's & PHR at the same time & the car just jumps out of the hole now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
I'm finally getting the most of the KD's now.
