Default More BMR...

I have the lowering springs, panhard, engine strut bar, and LCAs. Anyways, I can get a set of adjustable BMR upper control arms, brand new, for very cheap. What changes will I see once these are on, and what type of adjustments are recommended? Thanks.

upper control arms? 3rd/4th gens don't have upper control arms.....do you mean a-arms (front suspention)?

panhards.....plural..... ...sure you don't mean LCAs (lower control arms......)...the bars that go forward from the bottom of the rear end and connect to it to the car?

a rear bar that goes diagnoly across the rear end
thats the panhard rod

What changes will I see once these are on, and what type of adjustments are recommended?
It will be a little stiffer (more responsive) but not a lot. LG motorsports explained that the lower a-arm is the one that really makes a big difference. It is the one that really carries all the load, the upper a-arm is basically along for the ride.

Every piece of my suspention had been changed (LCAs, the panhard rod, the K-member, the lower a-arms, and the torque arm....I even have subframe connectors and a roll bar) EXCEPT for the upper a-arm. Just this past week I installed BMR's race (rod end version) upper a-arm and the car feels exactly like it did before..... ...go figure.....$250 and no change.....

So...I don't know....it depends on HOW cheap you are getting them for.....

hope that helps
