Hey everyone

I'm thinking about starting my suspension upgrades. Any suggestions or comments on the BMR products as opposed to pfdat or the others. Prices were not too bad.

Thanks

Easy answer is buy all BMR products you can afford...my signature will give you a good idea where to start.

BMR makes great parts. I have been using them on my own vehicles for 10+ years.

BMR makes amazing parts and they are far superior to the other brand you listed.

That depends on how a few things. Do you autoX, drag race, track your car or are you looking to improve performance on the street? How much power does your car make and do you plan to significant increase it?

ClawSS · 06-23-2015, 12:50 PM

All I would add is you need to decide on poly bushings vs spherical. For a street cars and your sanity I would recommend poly.

Full bore racers can go spherical where noise is not an issue.

ClawSS · 06-23-2015, 12:56 PM

totally depends on your personal goals. I am sure the time you spend on the phone with Apex discussing this topic would be very valuable and economical.

This is funny cause I see a whole different attitude towards PFADT these days. they used to be up there with the top, but after afe took over alot has changed for them... Back when I had my 10 I had PFADT stage 3+ on and loved the setup, with my 13 however its a whole new suspension game trying to get a decent setup

Once they stopped having all the threads deleted and all that and people realize it was all show and cheap junk, they now know better.
