    I'm looking to upgrade my rear lateral links on my 2000 gtp it's literally the last part of the suspension that is stock are bmr lateral links worth the extra money? I have pretty good suspension parts on the car like kyb agx struts, mooge parts like tie rod ends, lower control arms, sway bar links front and rear, gm performance bigger front and rear sway bars, zzp front and rear strut tower braces etc. So my car is stock height because of where I live and the roads with that being said I don't need additional adjustment with these rear lateral links from what I can see the forward lateral bars are fixed and the rearward is adjustable correct? I noticed bmr sells them just like that does anyone have any part numbers? I'd like to go with the bmr fixed lateral bars and the adjustable ones on each side like factory is this the way to go?

    The 2001 GTP I bought 2 years ago has the BMR suspension upgrades installed on the car. It has the lateral arms, trailing arms, and front strut tower brace (no back strut tower brace) in addition to a full complement of other upgrades, like the GMPP front and rear sway bar, Eibach lowering springs, and aftermarket struts.
    I've only driven this GP about 1200 miles since I purchased it. With the BMR parts on it, I can say that it handles very well. As a comparison, I have another GP (40th Anniv) also with all the suspension upgrades minus the BMR lateral arms and trailing arms, and the 2001 GP handles much better, but it also has 18" tires. And my 40th Anniv has over 220K miles, so it may not be handling the best it can be.
    As for where to purchase BMR parts, I see that Summit Racing sells them, but I don't know what their prices are.

    Okay thank you. Do you have one bmr fixed lateral arm and one adjustable bmr bar on each side like stock? Or are both bmr bars adjustable?

    The forward mount and rearward mount lateral arms are adjustable. I can see the threads on both arms.
    Also, if you go directly to the BMR Suspension site, and click on "1996-2006 W-Body", you can then click on the category for the lateral arms and in the description, it says that the forward and rearward arms are adjustable.

    I ordered my trailing arms from LMPerformance, it was $87 shipped compared to around $120 if I remember correctly. Here's the link: http://www.lmperformance.com/car.asp...=2004&b=0&su=Y

    The upgraded adjustable arms are more for people that setup thir suspension to a specific racing spec. For street you wont see any improvements
