I just got my LG APHB and it is sweet! I got the lightweight aluminium version with the double rod ends. This thing is light!

Actually I've been happy with my BMR bolt-in relocation brackets, but if you want weld-ins just go with LG. In fact, I just default to LG for suspension parts anymore - quality is top notch, designs are race-proven, and they treat the customer well. Note that they are offering 15% discount right now too...

Their lightweight aluminium one is not on their website yet. If you call them, just ask for the light weight stuff.

BMR works well and is priced good. LG is race proven, and a bit more money. Simple as that. Victor

I've been running all BMR stuff on my car for 3 years now with excellent results. Good prices and good products.

Excellent results in that every part has provided significant improvement in ET AND has not broken. The only other parts that I have run have been stock. I do not see the need to change to another vendor's parts as they have not broken. Unless another can show that their parts offer a significant improvement over the BMR parts, I would not waste the time or money in swapping them out.

Not discounting the gains, but there's more involved with a well-designed piece than just the fact that it hasn't broken...

That was the point of my response. My ETs for the mods that I have and my raceweight speak for themselves. Can someone from the LG camp state the same?

First, understand that my perpective in from a Drag Racing point of view.

When I started modifying my car there where only about 3 shops making suspension parts for the 4th gen f-bodys. BMR being one. I did most of my supension mods in early 2000. BMR shop was 2 blocks from my house. I could walk in talk with Brett anytime. This was not an option with the other 2 shops.

Again, if another vendor could PROVE that their products can improve my ETs, you can bet that I would change. I just want like everbody else, to be faster. I'm not married to BMR. Just show me the numbers, otherwise it's just bench racing.


I'm not looking to argue. I just stated my experience with parts that I have used. I'm not sure why my response was singled out

Not singled out, just curious what you have run to compare your current setup with.

The only way you can know for sure if the parts on your car work better than some other vendors parts is to have run that other vendor's parts as well, right?

That removes all the variables like driver and car setup from the comparo.

I would expect the same from someone endorsing the LG parts, right

All I'm looking for is that one shops products are REALLY better than on another. Nobody seems to be able to put up some real proof.

As I stated earlier;

Meaning?

I've run BMR, Spohn, Hotchkis and G2.

With G2 products, I've reduced tire wear and at the same time reduced lap times at Motorsport Ranch by several seconds. Same car, same track, same driver ... different suspension parts.

I contend numbers mean squat on 2 different cars ...

Too many variables from car to car ...
