The hammertone on my BMR bars is holding up just fine.

I put this in another thread: Nick, on your R7’s, you buying them heat cycled, or do you do the heat cycling and wait a week as recommended by Hoosier, or just hammer on stickers til they hear cycle out or cord? I’ve seen all of the above be proclaimed as “correct” with R7’s.

I did 6 laps on them at the end of a track day and parked the car. Let them sit till next track day (~4 weeks) I've been told from guys that are SCCA national champs that heat cycling them from Tire Rack doesn't work. Now maybe that because they dont offer that service or maybe there is truth to it. |

Only thing I can think of is that Tire Rack's heat cycling does not combine temperature with repeated cornering, braking, and heavy acceleration loads the way driving on the track does. Basically temperature in a straight line at constant speed or with at most relatively gradual speed changes.

You don't have the BMR front bar, but I just blew out my 3rd bushing on the front passenger side. Does your Hotchkins front bar use the very wide bushings like the factory bars do? Or are they the narrow "autozone" ones that BMR provides?

I run the BMR bars on middle hole front and full stiff rear all the time.

I have the Hotchkis FSB, it uses OEM like bushings. It threw off my ride height until I got BMR endlinks, but no issues with it other than that. Need to pickup a RSB to tune out some of the push I still have.
