Talking BMR Launches New Product - Torque Arm Suspension for 70-73 Camaro/Firebird

BMR Suspension
Torque Arm Suspension for 1970-1973 F-Body


Gain superior handling and greater adjustability in your 70-73 Camaro/Firebird with a Torque Arm Suspension from BMR Suspension. This complete kit comes with an adjustable torque arm, Watts Link, torque arm cross-member, coil-over conversion cross-member, lower control arms, and all necessary mounting hardware. The torque arm is equipped with a Delrin-bushed, telescoping front mount for bind-free axle articulation and a pinion-angle adjustable rear mount. The Watts link centers the rear axle housing even if the suspension is fully extended or compressed. The BMR Torque Arm Suspension (TAS004, TAS005, TAS006) is a true bolt-in kit that can be installed without cutting or welding the floor or frame. The suspension can be unbolted and the car can easily be returned to stock if desired. Applications for 10 bolt, 12 bolt, and Ford 9”. The Ford 9” version includes a new Strange rear axle housing. Coilover shocks sold separately. Available in black hammertone or red powdercoat.

To preview all of BMR’s high-performance suspension parts, please visit www.bmrsuspension.com, email [email protected], or contact them at BMR Suspension, 12581 US Highway 301 North, Thonotosassa, FL 33592, 813-986-9302, Fax: 813-986-8055.

Default torque arms-watts link

I own a 68 dodge charger. It is in the capeable hands of GEARHEAD GARAGE.

Now I would be more then capable of making a similar rear suspension for my car, if I was not deployed. My quesion is this, and i am sure fellow mopar owners would agree. Would you be interested in making this type of rear set-up for a B body mopar?

Interested, yes, but.....we generally plan our R&D schedule off of customer demand. As it stands at the moment the B-body is not an application we have received much interest in. On top of that, we are probably 1.5-2 years booked on new product development as it is so.....

We have already sold a bunch of kits to people retro-fitting them into other chassis. I know one was going into a Studebaker, one a 2nd gen Nova, and another for a pickup truck. You would have to use the 9" version for this to happen in a Mopar but we can sell the rear in whatever width you prefer, make control arms extra long, cut to fit, and build the torque arm length to order if desired. These are the only alterations we will do but make the kit somewhat adaptable. You would still have to adapt the shock crossmember and torque arm crossmember to your floor which may or may not be a complicated process depending on your fabrication abilities and floorpan/frame restrictions...

In that case, when the car is to the point of getting the rear done on it, i will be getting in contact with you with all the specs. The rear shock member is no problem. thanks.

I am anxiously waiting on the nova version! A 1974 nova to be exact. I like the bmr versus the speedtech because it looks like an easier install for people like me.

To Brett at BMR-What is the main difference in the 12 bolt versions and the 10 bolt versions? I have a 10 bolt and plan on upgrading to a 12 bolt later on. Can I swap (when yall get it set up for Novas) your TA from a 10 to a 12 bolt easily?
