Bushings/ trailing arms

Ok v6 buddies! 2 questions???
1) I have the BMR rear suspension bushings and differential bushings, this includes the trailing arms bushings?
2) trailing arms: how changing this helps in the car? I imagine is on handling, more stiff?
Jumping guys!

I do not know the answer to question 1 but to answer question two I believe the most common use for trailing arms is to reduce wheel hop under acceleration. I am no suspension expert so I could be wrong.

Mine didn't pull too bad, but the ride was terrible!! They did charge me a little extra since I was lowered, and it took a little more time, but it was SO worth it!! She rides like a dream now!! Good luck!!

Well after I redo the left side it doesn't pull that bad anymore. Now it just does it a little bit. Also now the car like follows every imperfection on the road. I am getting the alignment next WK. The shop I wanna go is closed until Monday so..

Well that is good so the alignment should fix the rest. Plan on lowering my car next weekend! Thinking of lowering it an inch on all 4 corners.

Not sure on question one but why is there a SS badge in the pic .
Lol to answer question 2 it does reduce wheel hop and when I replaced my trailing arms with the outer bushings the car felt more planted to me. It seemed to respond better and just go when I hit the gas.

Lucky. Whenever I get around to lowering that's what I plan on doing. But requested my time off for the fest today and should be ordering my new HTC One M8 tomorrow.

Ok so my left wheel still crooked. Its like the camber bolt needs to be loosen up and move out.. I touched the spindle and on the right I can fit a little bit of my finger tip. On the left is against the strut. Alignment will fix that. I am waiting on this to reopen. Good reviews and one-man shop. Will have him index the bushing and alignment

I will probably will get the alignment next Thursday Cuz that's my next day off.. I am hoping things get fixes after it. BMR is good stuff thou. No noises no issues with the springs. Ride is almost as the same as OEM.

I knew someone who had BMR lowering springs on her ride and they squeaked so much.
