  • 1LE vs BMR??

    Why is 1LE so much cheaper than BMR?? Is 1LE crappy quality? I was thinking about buying a lot of BMR suspension parts but as I was searching, 1LE stood out to me because the price was like 1/2 of BMR.Help?

      GM builds a zillion of them on automated machinery. BMR builds them by hand. Depending on your particular needs either could be the best buy.

        Depends on what you want to do with the car. BMR poly stuff is drag race only. Their rod ends are of poor quality. 1LE is more for road racing and spritied everyday driving.

          Dom, do you think that 1LEs will remove all wheel hop, or just some????

            First try a poly TA bushing. It's cheap so doesn't hurt to try. Then get LCAs. Those will most likely cure it completely. I have my stock ones lowered with relocation brackets and I also have different springs and shocks and sway bars, etc. You can't compare one part of my suspension to yours and say it's going to do the same. Certain parts of my suspension don't have to work as hard because other parts contribute.

            I'm very sure LCA will cure most of wheel hop problems. Rod/poly or 1LE are good combos. Just don't get poly/poly. If you're going with rods then get G2 ones. Much higher quality then others. 1LE will definitely cut down on wheel hop.
