I had the GMP Swaybar installed on my V last week. As well the BMR trailing arms and toe rods.
I need to have a quick alignment for my steerin wheel is slightly turned to the right.
I have to admit the steerin responce is insane...So crisp and sensitive....It holds so tightly and grips so smoothly...
Now my only issue that i need to fix is the slight swayin of the car with hard acceleration and speed...I think it has to do with the alignment... |

I have the Hotchkis bars and can't wait till the weather gets better to put them on.
How's the road noise with the BMR stuff on?
Glad your happy with these mods.
PS thanks for the feedback.

I found two issues with my installation.
My rear right tire was out about 24mm, which caused the swayin...And the front right tire was off as well...
The road noise is none existant...She sounds exactly as it did stock...
Ordered a better diff brace from pete, gonna try that one out...He says there is less diff deflection and i am not happy about the bmr diff brace...You live only once...So why not try it... |

New news about swaybars...
Ok took her in the shop after about 50km of drivin, found the followin issues...
The links were loose, they need a dab of locktight on the locknuts...plus the BMR toe rods as well...Additionally the hand brake lines need re-routin for they rub on the bars and the wheels...and in the front i have a little bit of shiftin, which needs attention...The stock front had lock bushins, so i may copy that on the new gm ones... |
