BMR Suspension's New S550 Rear Upper SHOCK MOUNTS: SM760 - Design Finalized!

[shogun32]

Looks like BMR has redesigned this SM760 part again.

yup, now since it's anchored at 3 points, no more rocking couple.

This is a better design to engage more metal similar to the ridetech mount. I like it! I am watching the area on my car. I run bigger rates than 90% of people 750 on the coil. Flyhalf is 850 on the coil so we are putting lots of stress here. So far it does not seem to be a problem as long as you have the travel to not bottom the shock.

Good on BMR for continual development and improvement.

I ordered these during a Christmas sale and am hoping to receive this updated version. Anyone know if the vendors here have these yet?

Idk. I was supposed to get a new set from BMR as a warranty replacement and was ghosted after a few back and forths. This was almost 3 months ago.

I don't know your welding skills but if ghosted either buy new if needed or if salty at bmr just copy and fab on top of any steel mount. I might do this in the off season with my vorschlag mounts.

My biggest complaint with BMR is that when they redesign parts, they don't change the name. It would be helpful if they would add r1, r2, etc. to the part name to let people know that they are buying the revised part.

lol - what? What companies label their products with revisions?

The ones that use their customers as beta testers and revise their products because they break or don't fit newer models.

Here's a little reading for you, since I guess you have not dealt with cars or replacement parts much.

Yep, basically all companies with ISO 9001 certification. The downside to them not changing the part number or specifying a revision is that the customer has no way of knowing what part they will receive, and most vendors continue to show a picture of the original design on their websites, even though they usually have the newest revision drop-shipped from the manufacturer. Even BMR's web page still shows the original design, not the new design.
