.4sec improvement with bmr

[dekan513]

what do the tow links do for u , drag racing wise im clueless . better yet anyone know where i can find a suspension guide to learn more about it

Gets rid of chatter. Toe links keep the tires from toeing in or out as the tires are on the limits of adhesion. I want those control arms and engine compartment brace for Autox. Which is what I love to do. I will have the fastest gen5 overall at LSFest this year. I went with my car stock last year it wont be anywhere near stock this year.

When a car begins to accelerate various bushings and suspension/chassis components deflect. Under normal driving conditions the flexing is negligible but when the car is launched aggressively it can cause significant toe changes which reduce the contact patch of the rear tires. This leads to a reduction in traction which obviously is not helpful. Toe rods set the rear wheels in a fixed position to help maintain traction.

Great illustrations and descriptions Chase as always.

It is good to see threads addressing how important good suspensions are to going fast, both in the hills and on the strip. I have a G8GT (438 rwhp, 12.20 on 20" A/S Contis). I have about every suspension piece Pedders makes and I just added adjustable rear toe links, adjustable rear control arms and trailing arms from BMR. Each came with poly bushings. These new arms made an already fantastic, sure footed sedan even better. It is hard to describe but easy to feel. An added bonus of the BMR lower control arms is that they will fit with the Pedders V8 SuperCar remote coil overs. Other arms I've looked at will not fit with them. The BMR arms only require mounting the left coilover on the right and the right on the left and reversing the orientation of the upper adjuster. It is a sweet set-up and the BMR arms are worth every penny they cost and then some.

The SuperCar coilovers have separate compression and rebound adjusters so for the strip i can set them up like drag shocks and get better weight transfer to the rear wheels. These settings, improved suspenion and BMR arms really plant the car.

My 12.2 run was done on very heavy 20" wheels and All-season tires. The next trip will be on 19" summer-only on lighter wheels (total weight savings is 70 pounds). If the track Gods smile on me, I'm hoping to hit or at least frighten the 11s.

I know DRs would be even better but I'm having too much fun being in grocery-getter mode.

Thanks for the feedback Ed!

Kyle, I could not be happier with the arms. Not only are the better than stock, they make rear alignment so much easier. I align mine myself and it was so much faster I had more time to drink beer.

That is always good to hear! It is nice when you can get done with your work and have some extra time left over for the important stuff.

Wow thats huge man, I want!

[suzbndt]

Long tubes installed got to say that is a huge improvement too

[jdenotter]

Is this 1/8 mile? Not to be neg but I was pulling 8.6s with 1.90 60ft all night in stock form.

After doing most of BMR suspention stuff i got way more power to the ground, and with the 4.10 gears it realy helps.

[suzbndt]

Autos are way better at the strip. I will not completely abuse my car. So stock form you either have to ride the clutch, let it wheel hop, or let it bog stock with the 6speed. Now I just release the clutch a little fast and it spins like 4-5ft grips and goes!

[suzbndt]

No fuss or muss. Just goes the way it should have from the facatory.
