BMR Suspension...Road Test..
As some of you know..i had (see pic) BMR full suspension istalled and Finally took it out for a full road test....All i can say is WOW...The car has little to no body roll...its like on rails...And i havent even messed with the Tokico's yet, infact i dont even know the setting...The weather and roads have been crappy in the NE.. The ride is Certainly stiffer and you feel the road alot more..like every bump...but thats the sacrifice...
I took a on ramp onto a interestate doing 60 and easily could have went faster..its a long sweeping curve....and man it hugged that curve like nothing...when it gets warmer and my tires which are like brand new get a little more sticker..It will really shine..
Installed
BMR--Springs....UCA and UCA mount.....Adjustable LCA and Brackets ....Rear sway bar....STB....Adjustable Panhard Bar.and support ...and Tokico D-specs
Will get more pics up this week or over the weekend..

RE: BMR Suspension...Road Test..
How was the install of the UCA bushing??? I was thinking of doing that at the same time I do my UCA, but the bushing install appears to be a major PITA!!!! Also, do you notice any binding with the Poly/Poly combo that your UCA now has????

RE: BMR Suspension...Road Test..
Actually i put in a new Stock Bushing..And took out the Poly Bushing....The rear diff Bushing..is that the one you mean..
If it is...I recommend keeping your Stock Bushing...No need to change for it...My Car has NO flex....And its A PITA...My Shop had all kinds of issues...So I would change everything out..but keep the Stock Bushing...You wont feel it any way.. And NO Binding as of yet..

Oh and TorchRed.... if you feel like tinkering with it, I'd love to know how it feels at full soft (or 5 from full hard) on the tokico's.
