I can't say I just add the parts AM sends me. Welds are great. Car feels much more planted and solid though.

One big difference is that this appears, from all descriptions, to be made from plain carbon steel, rather than stainless like the BMR kit. Given that it's the same price, I don't see a reason to choose this. At ~$100 I'd at least understand, but still disagree with getting this over the BMR kit, purely on the fact of their support for this community and doing all the original R&D of the kit.

Don't kill the messenger guys! :lol:

I sub'd just because I want to see what BMR says about this. SR performance will never have my business after this kind of crap.

I hope American Muscle chimes in as I have always regarded them as a respectable company.

Let's keep this thread to the technical merits please. If you want to request about licensing/copyright issues do it through PM or in the seller/vendor feedback section.

my bad, I think I started the fire on this. I am glad to see AM come out with their SR products but the price needs to be competitive. looks like a solid product though
