Guys, Matt Leukk pointed me to this guys for lower rear trailing arms. Anyone used them? The price is right and they come in various colors.

I bought both the adjustable uppers and the lowers from BMR last fall. I believe it took about two weeks for delivery.
Soon after, I installed them on my '70...nice fit, reasonable price and a quality product, IMO. graemlins/thumbsup.gif
I'll be putting them to the 690 ft.lb. big block test shortly... ;)
Factory rear sway bar fit, too.

They have group purchases once in a while. TC was in on one or two the past few years.

I number of us here use their stuff. I don't think I've heard any complaints.

I, myself, am using their adjustable upper arms. The only issue with them is that they use a wider bushing causing the arm to hit a 12 bold housing. A little grinding takes care of it. I think it was worth it.

I've got the Upper & Lower rear bars & their 1" rear sway bar.

They did take about 2 weeks after the order's were placed to get the parts shipped out(I beleive they make them on demand, no stockpile)- but each piece is beautifully made.

I would definitely recommend them!

Ditto here...I used their adjustable uppers on my '72 and will definitely be using them when I upgrade my '68 suspension.

I have a 69 velle' and I used thier front and rear sway bar and none adjustable uppers and lower rear trailing arms all fit great and I had everything in a few days.

(I might be in a good shipping zone I'm in Ma and I believe ther are in Fla so maybe it was aeast coast thing)

Thanks Stephe

Theo. Looks like I will probably pick up a set soon. The are inexpensive, so thats why I was considering them.

Do the BMR rear lower control arms 'flatten out' where the sway bar connects like the GW rear lowers?

Also, has anyone used these rear control arms with the hotchkis trailing arm braces (and stock uppers)? The braces look to me like they would fit, I want to use the braces but don't wanna spend $625 for the whole hotchkis set.

They don't flatten out any, they have 2 tubes welded through them to support the swaybar bolts. Very heavy duty.
