If I was going billet, BMR would probably be my first choice then Steeda.



I don't have Corona, but a 6 pack of Sam Adams White Ale, it's tastes twice as good as Corona, would that count ??
Makes sense. I probably would've gone with CHE or J&M. It's just that I got the BMR relo brackets in the for sale section (killer deal) and figured since both parts work togehter that I shoud stay with the same manufacturer for LCAs.

If and when you do your PH and PH support I'd say consider Steeda because they're actually cheaper than the competition. Plus I don't think CHE makes a PH support.

Seeing that you're more function over looks, get the black ones.

Any specific reason why you and Leo are looking at adjustable UCA's?

That's what I would do too if and when I swap out the PHB stuff.

Question Leo, why beef up the rear suspension when you literally took off your front sway bar?
I'm pretty sure your front end handling will suffer, while your rear stays planted on the twisties.

Great Info. I certainly liked how much better they looked when compared to the stock items during your install. I'll keep them in mind

Done deal.
Blue CHE LCAs. It takes 7 days for the parts then another 3 for shipping. Install party Feb 16-17 ??

Will get the UCA and Relo from PMP, they have a CHE sale going on right now.

Woo-Hoo... finally get to wrench again on my car.

I was considering a UCA only becaue I figure a beefier UCA could only help. Plus for $90 shipped it would've been a killer deal. Only negative was that it required maintence.

I've said before I'll say it again the front swaybar is over rated. Remember I did the a-arm support so that's got to help something.
Next time I take the stang down I'm going to let you drive it so you can see first hand the front swaybar doesn't help much if at all.

Heck if your going to do all that might as well add the PH, PH support, and rear swaybar while your down there.

From CHE blue powdercoating is only 10 bucks... so what the heck. But it's still 30 buck more than PMP. Still WTF. UCAs....
I want to make darn sure my fat-azz doesn't cause ANY problems when I put the DS in, if I gotta adjust the pinion angle I want to be prepared. If I don't need it I won't do it right away.

Leo, I would have to drive your car on a familiar road to believe you, sorry. If anything I want to eventually put the FRPP sways on, which may be the same in the rear, diameter, but is way beefier up front.

Yeah, yeah.. we talked about it before, but having a front (anti-)sway bar MUST be of benefit when driving on the twisties. Your A-Arm helps somewhat, but it's was never designed to replace the sway bar.

Me driving your car on the streets won't really tell me too much about about having or removing the sways. We'll need to swap cars out on the canyon roads for the real test.
On second thought.. Leo + 1st time Manual shifting + canyons =

Yeah, I'm with ya Leo, who needs front sway bars!

Leo's got a point there Brian.

From everything I've read people have said upgrading the front swaybar is a waste of $$. Most people have either left it as is or just upgraded the bushings.

Next time I'm down there we'll go to a "familiar road" so you can see for yourself. Seriously if Tom the most **** of people didn't notice a difference I doubt either of you will either. I guess I'll just have to say "we'll see".

It's not a great deal. I called HCM for pricing and it was about the same price as other sites plus you still had to pay shipping.

I know, I'm just giving Brian the heads up so he doesn't waste his time.

Anyone interested in a brand new BMR rear swaybar?

Brian- So did you order all the stuff? Don't forget you'll need a ds loop too.

Then on top of all that include the price of pizza.
