  • anyone know anything about the poly/rubber ended control arms?

    i asked earlier about the polyended control arms and now i'm discouraged from buying them. the other option that bmr offers is poly/rubber. what do you guys think of those? anyone actually have them? will they eliminate the bind that is possible with the polyended ones? thanks

      How bad is your wheel hop. Mine was BAD and ended up breaking the tranny mount. I was building the suspension for nitrous, so I went poly-poly. I would guess the rubber poly would be ok for your application. I need to know how bad it is, and what your plans are.

        the wheel hop can be pretty bad. i seriously doubt that mine is anywhere near as bad as yours cause i have never broken the trany mount. i did manage to rattle out one of the bolts completely and the other out half way. i just want to eliminate the wheel hop completely, i don't plan on hardcore drag racing, but i do drag race for fun (no nitrous or blower until way, way into the future). i want to improve the handling of the car and also the launch from the start without hurting the ride too much. i would like a ride that is a little on the hard side, but not unbearbable for 3-4 hr drives. thanks a lot

          The whole idea of the poly/rubber is to eliminate the bind. I have no info on how well it works.

            According to BMR it is not, but is in fact there to reduce road noise. The rubber end attaches to the car side.

            I have heard people order these and love them, and others order them and immediately want rod ends. It really depends on driving style.

            If you want cheap rod ended units come outbid me, I just got a set and Im accidentally in the run for these and don't need them. If I end up winning them for some stupid reason would you like them from me brand new? I'll sell em to you for the price I paid.
