BMR A-arms are fabricated from heavy duty MIG welded DOM tubing and come pre-assembled with low deflection polyurethane bushings, bump stops and new ball joints. Lower arms have sway bar mounting provisions and work with all stock replacement springs and shocks or with the popular QA1 Pro Coil kit. Upper A-arms provide additional header clearance and are assembled with a new billet cross shaft and HD stainless bushing retainers. Expect a combined weight savings of 10 lbs. Available in Black Hammertone or red powdercoat.

Upper control arms Part # AA018 are designed for use with the popular OE F-Body and B-body tall spindles or aftermarket AFX spindles shown below. This upgrade provides improved handling by creating a more negative camber curve and allows the use of easy to find 11"(F-body) and 12"(B-body) brake rotors(13" with AFX spindle). NOTE - Use of OE F or B-body spindles will lower vehicle by approximately 3/4" and will widen track width by 3/8" per side.

The all-new forged aluminum AFX spindle is the most advanced front suspension piece available for your muscle car. ATS took an entirely new approach to improving the less than optimal factory suspension of the A-body platform by scratch designing the focal point of the front geometry. Forged out of ultra strong, lightweight 6061 T6 aircraft spec aluminum, the taller than OE spindle radically improves the vehicles handling characteristics by transforming the camber gain.

Highly modernized C5 Corvette sealed hub assemblies bolt to the spindles with a one-inch ride height drop, while the larger bearing pack offers higher load capacity, individual wheel speed sensors, and wheel fitment that does not alter the track width or bolt pattern of the vehicle. Requiring no fabrication or modifications to install, the AFX spindle bolts directly in place of the OEM assembly using aftermarket tubular A-arms (AA018 above). Following late model engineering, brake packages from the C5/C6 Corvette bolt directly to the spindle. Steering arms bolt to the spindle to make use of factory linkage or steering rack kits, but with revised geometry to bring bump steer numbers down to nearly zero.

BMR's C5 Corvette brake kit comes with everything you need to install brakes on your ATS spindle equipped A-Body. Why buy an aftermarket brake kit for twice the money when you can get GM engineered OE components and be able to service them anywhere.

BMR springs are specifically designed to provide optimal handling without sacrificing ride quality. The front springs are progressive wound to provide variable rates. The soft portion of the progressive winding maintains near OE ride quality during normal driving conditions. When the suspension is loaded during aggressive cornering, the springs enter into the stiffer portion of the spring. We have designed additional spring rate into this portion of the spring for better control and reduced body roll. The rear springs are linear wound with improved spring rates as well.

BMR springs are available for two configurations. SP013 front springs and SP014 rear springs when combined will lower the car 1". SP015 rear springs lower the rear 2" and are designed for use with coil-over style front springs or with a combination of our SP013 front springs and lowering spindles.

Beware of low cost springs that sag over time. BMR springs are cold wound from high tensile strength chrome-silicon-vanadium to provide the longest lasting, most consistent rate possible without long term "memory" loss. Always check the spring manufacturers warranty before purchasing, you definitely get what you pay for. BMR provides a lifetime warranty against spring sag. NOTE: Sold in BMR red only.

Stock control arms are marginal at best. Bushing deflection combined with control arm flex can create erratic handling and inconsistent rear end stability when subjected to the additional loads of performance driving. BMR lower control arms are built with heavy duty 1.5" x 3" rectangular tubing while uppers use 1-5/8" x .120" rollcage tubing. Together they make a bulletproof combination. Upper control arms are available in either fixed or adjustable versions. Adjustable uppers allow "on-car" pinion angle adjustment by simply loosening the jamnuts and turning the adjuster. No need to unbolt the control arm. These adjusters are by far the strongest in the industry. Made from 1-1/8" CNC machined steel and zinc plated for corrosion resistance, they truly are overkill!

For hardcore enthusiasts with cars not intended for the street we also offer our control arms with Heavy Duty Spherical bearings in place of bushings. We use only the best QA1 Teflon lined spherical bearings with CNC machined cups and bearing spacers.

Available in Black Hammertone or red powdercoat. NOTE: may require clearancing when used with some OE 12 bolt axle housings.

If your a drag racer, this is the anti-roll bar for you. No cutting or welding required and since we engineered this bar around the original contours, it clears OE and all OE-style rearends and aftermarket exhaust systems.

• Massive 1-3/8" bar diameter
• Easy bolt-on design with the option to be welded
• Heavy duty 1/2" rod ends
• Billet bushing saddles

The factory rear swaybar works well for handling but falls short when it comes to drag racing. There are two main reasons for this. One, the OE bar diameters are nowhere near the right diameter to control torque loading on a launch. And second, the OE-type bar only attaches at the control arms with no frame attachment points. This allows too much body separation and no way to control it. By attaching the endlinks to the frame, body separation is eliminated and that energy transferred to forward momentum. This combined with the large diameter bar's ability to better control torque loading creates more consistent and predictable launches and better 60 ft/times. Provided with all necessary Grade 8 mounting hardware. Available in Black Hammertone or red powdercoat.

If your 12 bolt or 9" is just not cutting it, Strange offers a bolt-in New casting DANA 60 rear that is a bolt-in for your A-Body. The all new rear is cast from nodular iron and has a beefy 9.75" diameter ring gear. Weighing only 20 lbs. more than a 12 bolt and prices starting below $2k for a complete rear, you can't go wrong.

WHY USE POLYURETHANE?

Production vehicles are built using rubber bushings in control arms, strut arms, leaf springs, body mounts, motor mounts, transmission mounts, sway bars and shocks. Additionally, rubber components can be found used on coil spring pads, leaf spring pads and suspension bump stops. Not only are rubber components on the soft side to accomodate the typical car and truck buyer, they also deteriate rapidly. This contributes to premature component failure, a "spongy" ride and less than ideal performance handling. Urethane can correct these conditions, while improving driveability.

Ride, handling and control are what a shock absorber provides. Compromise in one area may create a problem in another. Bilstein's patented design reduces the need for compromise. The rising rate valving of the Bilstein shock absorber provides the necessary damping to react quicker to road conditions without sacrificing ride comfort. This combination of valving and high pressure nitrogen gas keeps the tires in constant contact with the road helping to ensure safety through enhanced control.

Of all a vehicle's suspension components, nothing works harder than the shock absorbers, making it critical to pick the correct ones. Bilstein Gas Pressurized Shock Absorbers are the least expensive, fastest way, to dramatically improve the ride, handling and control of a vehicle.
