Adjustable BMR Arms and Toe Rods Installed

Just wanted to thank BMR for getting these out to me via Gforce Engineering and helping me get 1 step closer in my painstakingly slow adventure towards getting my car ready for some big power someday. Its taking me way too long to get there, but patience is a must, I have bills and other hobbies, lol. I removed my non adjustable toe rods and trailing arms in order to get to the alignment numbers I need for a good drag alignment and to clear the 17" Welds.

I might also add that the adjuster and nuts on the LCA are 1 1/2" not 1 1/8" as specified in the BMR instructions.

Took me about 4.5 hrs with ADD, LOL! The Spohn Non Adjustable Chromoly trailing arms and toe rods will be posted for sale soon......

Anyways here are a couple of shots of the Adj. Lower Control Arm, Adj. Rear Trailing Arms and Toe Rods.

Very nice. Kudos for doing things right rather than just immediately adding power.

Adding in the Alignment specs we went with. The rear toe was excactly .10 both sides but when we threw the bay door open it read a little off because of the rapid temp change over the laser. Hope this will give me a decent street/drag alignment and less wiggling under WOT. Have yet to try this out because of the cold temperatures.

Very nice! I just ordered the BMR fixed toe links. I don't need the adjustment like you do but wanted to get rid of the OE bushings.

Looking forward to it! Should have a few changes done by then as well :-) Should have wheels back any day.

Looking good. I'm very happy with all of the BMR prodcuts we have installed so far!
