Hi all,

I am a new member here and seek some advice and real world opinions. I was all ready to pull the trigger on some BMR suspension but am a little apprehensive now. After reading posts here and at other sites it seems there is a consencious that Steeda is a better performing part.

Opinions from real worl owners of both manufacturers is greatly appreciated. Looking to get, Panhand Bar, Panhand Bar Brace, UCA, Adjustable LCA, Relocation bracket. THanks!

Check out CHE Performance parts they are a lot cheaper and have all the same quality. I have them on my car with 0 issues.

There is nothing wrong with the build quality of the CHE parts, I would definatley consider them too.

There are few functional differences about the parts you asked though:

Panhard bar--not much of a difference

Panhard bar brace--the BMR is stiffer than the Steeda. It's recangular rather than round, so it has more metal in there. I haven't handled the CHE so I can't comment on it.,

UCA: BMR is the strongest that I know of , if you want a 1-pc unit. The BMR 1-pc is by far the strongest on the market. As for the adjustables, they are all comporable.

Adj. LCA: All about the same, except for the Steeda Billet aluminum type, which is more of a show piece rather than a race piece. I've heard they can break under high HP situations.

LCA relocation bracket: The BMR has an extra position (threee total) than the CHE (two total).

Do you have the arms with their unique poly bushings?

Do you use the upper arm mount?

Do they tramsmit much noise and vibration to the interior?

Thanks!

I have all rod ends in my suspension, they aren't too loud IMO but some people don't like them. I am still using the stock upper mount, I am waiting on CHE to release theirs.
