Which control arm for street driving / autocross?

[Jazz]

Need to make a decision. Got tired of fighting with my old swing arms, so time to upgrade.

Spohn with two joints: $400

BMR with one joint: $450

Just by the right up I'd say the Spohn. But I haven't used either.

Spohn is a much better product

Well, I talked to Eric and after so debate decided on the BMR. It's more heavy duty, also if the front joint on the Spohn piece fails it could result in a VERY bad crash which can't happen with the BMR piece. For the street it seems to be a safer design.

Any other opinions?

BMR. We are a bmr dealer and can probably sell to you at a lower price than if you buy direct.
Just FYI.

So much for buying into the advertising.

Thanks Ed. That's good to know. Next time I'd come to you guys. Honestly with my schedule UPS is usually easier for me that picking things up in person. I do always like save a buck and help out the local guy if I can though. Thanks!

Oh, what do you think of the Spohn vs the BMR?

Don - Honestly when I first looked at the parts I liked the Spohn part and its also cheaper but Eric made a good point to me. Suspension parts should not fail in a way that would cause a serious loss of control if they fail, especially in the steering system. That's why the BMR piece is better. Its also much thicker and stronger than the Spohn part.
