  • BMR rear end susp. work...how much driveability will i lose?

    i did some research looking thru topics on here...
    and it seems like a lot of LCA's will make you lose cornering ability due to stifness of suspension...
    i'm wondering, just how much cornering am i gonna lose? i somewhat enjoy taking 20mph turns at 40mph, but that's the extent of it really...
    i want to eliminate all my wheel hop at the track, but i don't want to lose all fun driveability either

    With the good comes the bad...i guess it just comes down to what you PREFER. I myself im buying a set of BMR LCA's too. IM gonna try em out and see how much cornering i lose...im curious to know that as well.

      It's not that bad at all. Just get the tubular ones, not the adj or boxed type. I got the tubulars and they helped a lot at the track. I still fly around corners and do 40mph on 20 mph off-ramps [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
      Don't worry about the reports, a lot of the time they are over exaggerated. I was told that the ride would be rougher w/ the poly bushings in the lca and pan hard bar, but I don't notice any difference. Oh well

        Get the rod/poly ones from bilingsley racing or lg motorsports. I'm getting a set once I have some money.

          The problem is not stiffness. The problem is that the bushings need to deflect if the car hits a one wheel bump or rolls in a corner. With the usual poly bushings on aftermarket lcas the suspension will bind, not a good thing.

          Two possible solutions are 1LE lcas or lcas with rod ends (noisy, need maintenance).

            My suggestion would be go with the Poly/Rubber BMR LCAs or the 1LE LCAs with hard durometer bushings. We carry both of these and have competitive pricing as well. A quick note the BMR LCAs will ship much faster then the 1LEs...

                I plan on going with the rubber/poly setup, it should work fine for minimal autoX and hard street driving [img]smile.gif[/img]
