Doing some last minute test fitting and measuring, before finalizing the design and starting product release process and production.

Unfortunately, we have made several tweaks...so I don't have any clue on the pricing point right now.

Dat Roll Center Adjustment!

Again, a few revisions. Shortened the arms a little, and modified the mounts. Still working on implementing as few gussets on the driver side bracket.

We are pretty thrilled so far. And, I can honestly say - not feeling the car sway from side to side under heavy acceleration sure is nice! when you see a REALLY fast manual trans S197....you always see the rear sway on the shifts, due to the panhard bar.

Love that parts porn, on a slightly different note (though it is in the picture) any word on that rear sway bar? Also those dual rear calipers, would those only work for a drag car or would they work for road course? I thought the main reason for the small rear calipers was because anything bigger would rub do to the axle movement in and out.

Is that the passenger side shift of the axle I see on my videos? I just figured it was the bias ply tires flexing when the chassis reloads or something

Alot of guys are pre conditioned to think that a watts link is only needed if your gonna road course a car. The truth is, its better all the way round from road courses to street to drag racing. Its an upgrade you feel right away...get one and you'll wonder why you didn't get 1 sooner!

Kinda, no, maybe - not really.

The only update I have is, we are now working on the CHASSIS mounted version....so we can hopefully release both at around the same time.

So, we will have a diff mounted, and a chassis mounted option. That's kinda cool.

^ Not necessarily. The Diff mounted version is done. The Chassis mounted version is more simple, and already being tested.

I'm just curious, why did you decide to do that, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each of them?

Why not release the one you have ready and get it on the market!

You have so many that would buy this version over the other version and are waiting with money in hand to get one Me being one of those people.

Rushing to release parts is not a good thing. Sure, we want the money - but we also want to be confident that the part is built to our standards.

We have been through the "hurry up and design, then hurry up and sell/ship" stages before, and it's no fun revising parts when you could be developing new parts.

When they are available, I am sure you guys will understand. They are nice.

Always pleasantly surprised by your posts.

I'll just have to be patient.

What does it weigh?

You folks interested in offering a Group-Buy?

Might as well ask it here. Adv/disadv of axle vs differential mounted?

I honestly don't know and need to make up my mind if BMR is going to offer both.
