Thread: bmr trailing and lateral arms

these seem pretty expensive but ive heard good things about bmr. i recently took a corner a little hot and i slid across the road a bit due to bad tires and shafty suspension so im trying to make it better i know its a fwd family car so it will only get so good but im gonna make improvements.

Trailing and trailing arms?

fixed

Are you planning on doing autocross or just want better handling?

Why spend that kind of coin when you go a cheaper yet still effective route? Personally, I have:
OTTO strut tower bar
GMPP front sway bar
GMPP rear sway bar
Aurora rear strut bar
GMPP trailing arms
Eibach lowering springs

My car handles fairly well for a FWD sedan. You could go without the springs, but if you are willing to spend $500 then why not add more to the list than just trailing arms?

BMR makes good stuff. The trailing arms are very thick. They will rub with wide wheels that have a high offset. They usually have sales for black friday and cyber monday.

You could always check out local junkyards or Morad and get the trailing arms of a Gxp or monte SS and save some money.

UMI also makes a set of trailing arms.

Here is the info for the BMR and UMI sales through 11/26.

They may not be made anymore, but you can purchase replicas of them:
W Body Store Boxed Trailing Arm Kit - W Body Store

Those aren't GMPP replicas. They're basically Doorman trailing arms. The GMPP trailing arms were tubular, not boxed.

Depending on what you are looking to spend/do. There's lots of options. Myself, I was sick of seeing the tinfoil lateral and toe links on these cars always being bent from tow trucks etc.

If you dare.. search for my Regal build. It wasn't super expensive and the car definately handles better.
