Hey guys I have some BMR trailing arms and I was going to get their adjustable toe rods, but since their about a few weeks out and I have a install next week I went ahead and got the detroit speed adjustable toe rods.

My question is would I be ok running the 2 brands on the car?

Thanks.

You should be good. I would recommend the upgraded, heavy duty BMR trailing arms and toe rods. I just went to them and wow, those things are big, beefy, solid. I should of installed these to start with based on my HP. I expect these to hold up much better.

I upgraded my toe rods with ones from a ZL1 and have Spohn trailing arms.

Parts in the rear suspension are mostly just mix & match. Only things to really look into pairing properly would be your dampers & springs. And then making your front and rear sway bars complementary for the rest of the build, but the sways do not have to match brand either (I have Pfadt front and Detroit Speed rears).

Thanks guys. BMR when I called the guy never gave me an option on hammertone.
