Rear lower control arms
I'm looking for a good set of lower control arms for my Camaro, with the FE sport suspension.
I need a strong one, the 1 1/2'' thick cro-moly Phadt Race engineering sway bar ripped one of tangs off the flimsy stock control arm. Good for regular driving, bad when pushed. I'm not replacing the sway bar, it really keeps the rear end flat around turns, reduces oversteer dramatically. I was going to weld thicker sway bar link mounts on them, but it would only weaken a part I feel I'm already pushing to the limit. I like the BMR arm (strong), I have many of there suspension parts on mine, but the only one they have that I want is for lowered Camaro's, as mine would be if I didn't have to drive the streets of Philly! I liked the Whiteline arms but there bracket don't look as strong as the one on the BMR control arm. I'm still looking, if anyone can help, I thank you in advance.

Thank you so much, love this forum! I really like the QA1 control arms, I didn't come across them when I was searching and I like them!
I was going to get the BMR adjustable arms, and Detroit speed only makes them for the FE4 & FE5 suspensions, the BMR adjustable arms are a little pricey for now, for me, and I need an arm that will hold up. I don't want to spend to much so I'm going with the QA1 set up, that I can afford at this time, and it looks like a killer arm for the price! Thanks Fast6.3, and the rest for the help! Have a great Easter!

Manual trans Camaro's are hard on these independent suspensions, I'm not crazy about the poly bushings unless there the hardest type made, or even Delron bushings. I'll get there soon enough, thanks!

BMR fully adjustable LCA's
Just installed BMR fully adjustable LCA's and the overall feel of them compared to stock is significant.
