i just did BMR last week all arms along with cradle bushings, it made a huge difference, no will hop and it feels planted. not sure how it will hold up at the track, but we will found out? ill get some pics and post!!!

I just opened the box of BMR stuff, the on car adjustable stuff looks beefier then the other BMR arms I have, I may use them.
How long did it take you to swap every thing out? You drop the cradle completely out or just lower it a few inches?

Full tilt rear IRS upgrade for the lapping crowd to help with our apparent handicap there. I have AAD on the top arms, I really like the BMR toe rod. I did NOT like the BMR tension rods yesterday. I replaced another set of arms I had on it. The spindle end of the BMR arm was about 1/8" more wide than the OEM bushing there. WTF BMR, new measurements, or did you not send me some necessary hardware? -uck it, I squeezed it down. If it looks like shit after a session, I will have spares with me and I'll be a bitch! I also have the Whiteline bushings and the big differential brace our brothers on the Forums have made for us. The DP rear two piece rotor is also installed for the viewing pleasure here. No hop any longer, I have even tried to get it to hop, it is really fun to drive with some large meats out back. The NVH on the street is NOT any greater with all the changes!

I also have the AAD adjustable arms up front with some other goodies to drive these 325/30's. Bolted on this set yesterday with the change in brakes to track it next weekend. Yes, I will wash the bugs off and give it a nice bath this week. Some alcohol presoak melts them off that wrap on the front bumper.

I called BMR on the width issue with the trailing arms, needs a washer on each side then was a perfect fit. I put rubber boots over my rod ends as well but will be removing these links and putting the on car adjustable ones on as they look beefier.

A picture is worth a thousand words! Look at that weakass cast aluminum trailing arm. They break! Even had one break on the dyno. Not everybody wants to go to a full drag suspension but if you are modding at all..... that along with the DIRS brace, is one of the things that needs to be done.

Thanks for the reply, DGatzby. You've got three sets of wheels, the 11" OEM Devil's Rims, the 12" Custom Mags, and the Triump 12" custom wheels, which will be the set I understand you are staggering 325/345 and will use with the dedicated rotors and brake pads for lapping. You car looks great with both chrome wheel sets.

Have a blast tracking your car - please do update the forum on how you feel about the performance enhancements you'll experience. I'd be super fired up testing the suspension mods along with the great rubber!

 

[DGatzby]

That is sure nice of BMR. I was born a mind reader. PIA. I don't like them, they can be $99 paper weights. Still can't get a socket on the bottom caliper bolt without taking their bolt loose. I think I will go in search of replacement bushings for the OEM arms, or I'll suffer through with the brand X arms, I have also.

its a 4 hr job with the tools!

Yea, the difference from stock to even the BMR arms is night and day, couldn’t imagine how beefy the AAD stuff must be in hand

You drop the cradle right out or just lower it?
You mind posting the part number of the cradle kit you used? I mine as well do it as well while I’m under there

. These are the Spohn adjustables I just pulled out. Chromoly and very stout. No bending those. You can see my “goop” application that keeps the lock nuts in place. Professional all the way 😝. Those are sold to Primetime. I also had a BMR toe link on there and those are going to be for sale. They are the skinny end joint version from Carlyle for a 15” wheel conversion.

When I did the cradle lock out kit and arms I did one side at a time and just lowered it . I removed the lower shock bolt to get it low enough .

@Hpindy
What cradle lock out kit did you use? Any idea on part number?

 

[16GoManGoHC2]

One of these?

This alignment took adjustable four corners by AAD, plus the BMR rear toe adjustable items. It ran a 3.3 second 0-60 and 11 sec flat on the street with street tires. It don't flipping hop anymore either. It feels out of this world to drive now, big difference from stock.

Interesting. I just put indy 500 305/35/20s on 11" MMR rims my 1320 for daily driving and my rear alignment is nearly identical from FCA to what you put yours at, though the shop told me they couldnt adjust anything in the rear camber without adjustable parts etc etc. Maybe its good they couldnt.

 

[Stormtrooper1320]

ok......I'll admit it.....when I first saw the title in the list on the right......I thought it said....underwear on drag radials....

of course......I then had a WTF moment.....and re-read it.....and then I felt like Gilda Radner's character on the old SNL.......oh.....nevermind

Nice looking parts......should make a nice difference.

Scb112 is BMR part number For the cradle kit/ lockout kit.

Not that much different. Notice the spec mine has says the rear camber is good up to -0.2 degrees, not -1.2 degrees. Otherwise both of ours are red. The more positive is better for the street/acceleration. I see the guys who race go more positive.
