BMR makes great stuff that what I used in Pumpkin. That being said I'm going with Pfadt for coilovers this winter, there pricey but I like the looks of them. As far as brake rotors go I'm going with DBA's. Hope that helps.

I would answer by saying that it depends on what you want to do with the car. Most often we find that a mix of brands will get you to where you want to be. that is, unless you have some reason that you want to be loyal to just one manufacturer.
We are always happy to help someone figure out what may be the best set-up for their application. Shoot me or Apex Chase a PM if you want more info. |

We have a full line up of Camaro suspension and chassis parts that we make in-house so we are able to keep the price more reasonable than some of the other companies that outsurce their manufacturing. I would put our products agianst any others out there as far as quality and value goes. If there is any questions I can help you out with don't hesitate to shoot me a PM or give me a call here at the shop. Quote:

Not a problem Kyle my pleasure, OP as soon as I bought the car I added the sway bars and links. Up next are the 1" springs and LCA or trailing arm and the rear diff bushings. Slowly but surely.

I had a 5k budget for my suspension parts, so not really a limit. I went with eibach sway bars and a Hotchkis strut brace, I also added a few small things, but not really important. I like the eibach because they are both 29mm bars, and the strut brace fits over a supercharger.

I am not normally a fan of chrome at all but That chrome BMR strut tower brace just sets off your engine bay and I think it looks amazing. |

I had also attest to BMR's quality, rocking their bushings! They were my second choice, but I bought eibach coilovers, so I just stuck with eibach.
