MY NEW BMR SUSPENSION INSTALLED
Hi,
After adding a cam and accompanying mods to my camaro almost a year ago, I could'nt seem to run any faster in the 1/4 do to traction issues, so I decided to add some suspension mods to the car. I usually do mods on my own car first so local customers can see and checkout the mods before I install them on their car. The car had previously had the Barton tunnel brace and H&R drop springs on it. Here is the list of parts that were on this project: Hawk ceramic brake pads BMR toe rods BMR trailing arms and outer trailing arm bushings BMR differential bushing mounts BMR Street cradle bushing inserts Nitto 555R drag radials- 305-35-20 I also bought a Cincy Bushing tool(for removing diff bushings) if anyone is interested in renting it. I do work on other cars too so if you be interested in just renting it we could do it through pay pal. I was thinking I can take a deposit for $150, and when i get it back i can refund you $120. It would keep y'all from having to spend $170 on a tool you might just use once. I can even send a return self addressed box with it to send it back in. send me an email at: nchauffe@gmail.com if interested. here are the pics and vid dropped the rear cradle these are the stock bushings, big air gaps in them and the flimsy toe and trailing arms Nitto tires compared to stock rear tires Hawk pads no more gap in bushings all installed Last edited by BLACK10; 01-22-2011 at 10:43 AM. |

Cool... I have a set in my trunk that will be going on next weekend and they have the spherical bushings. I hear they can be a bit noisy...

Any tips/tricks you can suggest with doing this?
I think the BMR cradle/diff bushing kit might be my next mod. I have access to a lift...not sure if that will make any difference or not. I might have to take you up on the tool rental as well. Don't you just have to cut a section into the bushing and then the tool helps pull it out? Any noticable difference in the ride and/or noise?
