Well I'm not sure how it broke?I drive the car on the street and not very often.I have never hit a major pot holes or curbs????It broke wright where the lower control arm box is on the lt side.I have pictures but do not know how to post them.It could have been a major BAD deal if it broke going down the street @ 150.I only found it when i was changing the oil and stumbled across it...I'm alittle pissed because BMR said "send it back and we will look at it".Well they are not paying shipping , and this is my daily driver. But on the good side i cought it before i DIED!I will let you know if they replace it or not..Oh ya they said they have not had but one or two break??

that is odd when i had an LS1 i had BMR stuff and was always happy with it. top notch. the only thing i can think of is that they have gotten bigger and quality control has started to suffer.

oh one other thing did you get the chrome moly or the mild steel.
