Default BMR trailing arms.
http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-bodySuspension.htm

I have the BMR SFCs and I love them, so i decided to stick with BMR. Which ones should I get? (mods in sig). soon to have LTs and a Y-pipe.

Thanks guys

If you are looking at doing a street strip type car our standard TCA001 control arms will work fine. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

the chromoly units will be lighter. which will never be noticed on your average car.

stick with the standard tubular units.

It's basically a lighter unit meant for someone who is looking for every little advantage in weight.

MCA002 Adjustable "Street" control arms $199.95 pr.

I would get those so you can center the wheel if you ever run larger tires or raise/lower the car.

I ordered the TCA001 control arms in hammertone black. It asked if i wanted rubber bushings, but I did not have enough money for them... Do i need them to install these trailing arms?

No they are not needed they are just an option instead of the poly bushings. Let me know if you have any other questions regarding the install.

Damn I saw this too late. I have a set of boxed BMR control arms for sale right now for $100 shipped if anyone else is looking.

Good choice though.
