Just got my BMR K member and A arms back from powder!!!!

[sean04]

lol looking forward to getting these pieces on, I will update with progress pics. I've had all my suspension pieces powdered clear satin, and I must say they look bitchen. Check them out

Very nice piece. Such a shame u have to hide it!

 

[Dave_6]

Looks killer!

 

[BMR Tech]

Hory Shet!

Wow that looks great. How much weight savings is it over stock? I've been considering lightening the car up as well for that extra bit of performance.

 

[sean04]

Thanks guys, and it looks even better in person. I'm not sure on exact weight. I should know later today.

 

[BMR Tech]

This system is going to save a little over 30 lbs. More, if you count the oem shields and Z bracing, but I am speaking of just the k and arms compared to oem.

Hey Kelly, what do I torque the rear a arm
Mount nut to? The one that holds the Delrin bishings on

Not trying to play devils advocate, but why not just use BMR's black hammertone finish since this part is hidden under the car?

 

[sean04]

I'm under my car quite often. Lol

And it makes me happy

 

[blackbeast12]

^good response!

I would have done that above or had them done in high gloss clear as opposed to low gloss satin..

Looks great though OP...

Other than the weight savings what is the benefit to this setup?

 

[sean04]

Thanks, I actually had it done 90 percent (high) gloss at first. But it was a little too "bling" for my taste. So I re scuffed it and had it redone in 20 percent, which gives it this pretty sweet frosty look.

For me it is weight savings and all the room it opens up. Should be much easier to get to header bolts and such now. It will also make more room for turbo mani's in the future

 

[gimmie11s]

Ah ha. More room is a good thing and makes sense.

 

[BMR Tech]

Other than the weight savings what is the benefit to this setup?

A lot.

-Less drivetrain rotation/movement. (better shifts, less power losses, easier on parts)

-Adjustability. (caster, camber and track width adjustment)

-Clearance. (more clearance everywhere)

-Suspension Performance. (no bonded bushings, which bind / deflect)

Have you put yours in yet? What are you using to take out the factory ball joint, just a big hammer?
