Hello everyone here's the parts im ordering

Bilstein shocks (all 4) $285
BMR LCA $109.95
BMR brackets weld in $69.95
BMR torque arm $319.95
BMR panhard bar $89.95

Whats the difference with tubular or boxed lca's other than price? LCA brackets come in weld in or bolt in which ones should i get?

Who sells BMR products at the best prices?

I basically just want better handling and traction and to decrease my wheel hop (its pretty bad ) Im getting my Cam and headers in the coming months so i would like to have some good traction. I just got all new tires (firestone firehawk sz50 ep's). Are their any other parts that im missing?

Thank you

I'm really happy with the difference that the BMR front swaybar made. I would add that to the list if you are looking for better handling. Also the sfcs and stb were big handling improvements for me.
I went with the bolt in relo brackets just because I could install them myself. You can always have them welded later. They didn't seem to make a lot of difference for me.

Good list, only thing id add (personal opinion) is subframe connectors.

Boxed items are stronger and more rigid than tubular items.

Checkout some of the board sponsors for the best prices.

Thanks for the replies i already have kenny brown dd sfc's. I saw bmr's stb but wasn't sure if i should get it. Are my stock springs okay for this setup? I don't want to lower my car if i did maybe 1" or less should i look at getting some aftermarket springs? Will i see any ride quality or performance gain going that route (springs)?

thanks

I would also take a look at Spohn suspension products. They tend to be a little cheaper than BMR stuff.

Im checking out Spohn's website right now thanks. Is their a better Torque arm then BMR's? What about LG motorsports, spohn, hotchkis?

Hey kyzer where are you going to take your car to pass smog with those long tubes, hook me up

Also TTT for your suspension question, I am planning on doing tons of stuff to my suspension soon and have similar questions.

I don't know if your budget is really tight or if you were just being frugal looking for the best prices. Also, what is your primary concern, traction or handling? Your list looked more traction oriented. If so then you could cut the panhard rod out because that won't help your traction. It will help handling but i would get SFC and a STB before a panhard rod.

Spohn's torque arm is shorter than stock/BMR so it should improve handling but the trade off is noise because it mounts to the chassis instead of the transmission which absorbs torque arm noise.

94formula- My budget isn't really tight i just want to get the best stuff i can. I don't want to throw my money around to stuff i don't really need. I want more traction than handling right now so i guess im picking the right parts except for the panhard bar. Im going to get the stb instead for now.

BigdreamZ- haha I not to worried about smog when i do i'll let you know where

Bud-thanks for the heads up on spohn torque arm

Sounds good. Let me clarify my above comments though. I'd actually save the STB money and put it towards SFC first. THEN once you have SFC i'd get a STB before PH rod. Only reason i got a PH before a STB is because i wanted to center the rear on my lowered car. i know SFC are a little more expensive, but i'd definitly recommend doing them before those other mods even if you have to save awhile longer.

I have kenny brown double diamond sub-frame connectors already check the sig.

oooops, i noticed Kmook's suggestion above and concurred with it. Go STB!
