Anybody that's driven one of these cars knows about the
serious wheelhop issues. What people don't know is how to resolve it. While this car is definitely a modern day musclecar, first and foremost it's a Cadillac and GM designed the suspension ultimately with ride quality in mind. This doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice ride quality, though. A careful balance of fixed mounts and rubber mounts can provide both ride quality and traction.
This new kit makes the cradle a fixed mount and reinforces the cradle in a critical area, the trailing arm mount. With this kit alone, wheelhop is reduced approximately 75% and ride quality is only slightly effected. In fact, most people can't tell the difference. Shipping now.
As you can tell by this comparison of the OE toe rod vs. our heavy duty replacements - there is no comparison. The toe rod is responsible for maintaining toe settings of the the rear wheels similar to tie rod ends on the front end. This ensures that the wheels remain set to a fixed position, not erratically pointing inward or outward under loading. The factory rods are made from 1/2" material and use soft rubber bushings at the mounting points. Under load, deflection can cause poor launch stability, inconsistent handling and decreased braking ability. Our toe rods are made from 1" heavy wall DOM and use
Teflon lined QA1 rod ends with stainless spacers. Fairly simple install with no decrease in ride quality. Available standard in red or black powdercoat. Additional colors available by special order. Now accepting pre-orders. Product will begin shipping by July 28th.
BMR trailing arms are similar in design to the factory arms but are made from larger diameter, heavier gauge tubing and use heavy duty QA1 spherical bearings in the front mount instead of the soft rubber factory bushing. By keeping the OE rear rubber bushing, ride quality remains uneffected however suspension response is greatly increased. Now accepting pre-orders. Product will begin shipping by July 28th. |
