BMR spherical bearing kits for front

http://m.bmrsuspension.com/?page=pro...=121&catid=450

My search has turned up empty for reviews on BMR radius rod and front lower control arm spherical bearings. I'm looking for improved steering feel primarily. Precision in steering/handling on the road course would be nice as well. I realize these big heavy cars with fat wheels and tires are never going to be like a Lotus. But I would like to get as close as I can.

Anyone have any reactions? DIY installable?

Take a look at SPL, I was going to go with all BMR suspension but decided to save a little more and get a better product.SPL is more of a motorsport quality.

Yes, I’ve checked out the catalog. I’m considering just doing the bmr upgrade given the price difference. I also kinda want an excuse to buy a bearing press.

I’m installing the rear cradle lockout kit tomorrow. Weill see how that goes before investing in other bits in the rear.
