Now that I've been driving it a few days I'm pretty happy. What did I bother with the brake upgrade for laughing I don't need to brake just turn the steering wheel.
I updated my site and correct the broken links as well.
Finally got my BMR pics uploaded

Excuse my ignorance, but what does that mod help out? I mean, of course something with handling, but what advantages of the adjustable nature of the control arms?

You can align it if you want to drop the profile of the car.
Those arms are beautiful especially in red. I wish I could have justified the extra expense over the GM adjustables. Whose H-brace? I heard some needed shimming. Any problems there? I see some new blue (tpr) bushings on the sway bar and endlinks too.
What?No knuckle brace?
Nice setup.

I did add a washer to the front connections to fill a small gap. Its made by ProSuspension.
The poly bushing do a great job at keeping the wheels in the correct position. Less deflection is always a good thing.
The arms are as also stiffer reducing flex as well.

ahh for camber adjustment..okay... doh
do the arms come with the "sleeves" thats needed from shonut.com? can u post or pm me, the part# and website u bought these from? approx how much were they?
the h-brace looks sturdy enough, would that a decent place to jack up the car general?

http://www.bmrfabrication.com look under the gran prix or gtp section. I think you still need the reducing sleeves from shonut. I think those are $350-400 with shipping.
You still need the GTP sleeves and washers from SHOnut. An Extra set of 4 washers is advised as well.
The BMR Part Number is Part #TCA012
http://www.bmrfabrication.com/W-Body.htm cost is $356.90
I've always jacked from this location. Just be gentle.

Don't forget toe! Although toe was already adjustable. These arms just make it easier. Plus it's better to make alignment changes this way rather than through eccentrics because eccentrics change the pivot points.

As have I doh
Looks nice dan. Did you grease them before putting them on? I forgot to when I did mine and they squeak a little. I put grease in them, after they were installed, but I think the squeaking is coming from the washers on the side of the poly.

Nope headbang
I have a small squeak as well. I found it pretty hard to push the grease into the zerk fittings as well.
My sqeak may be comming from the swaybar bushings as well. I asked for 26mm bushings but I have a gap after the install telling me there not the correct size.

Those BMR's are some fine pieces. How much do they weigh compared to the stockers?

Yes. 2 arms per set. 2 sets for all 4 arms.
I suggest 4 more washers from any home improvment store. Search the forum for more info but it allows the arms to line up straighter.
Also either plug the brake lines or connect the bias valve to the new arm by some fashion.
Here are the plugs I've used.
