I’m trying to install the level two lockout kit by BMR and after watching the videos, I don’t have those parts on my car.
What is this part? It looks like the part that came from BMR

Looks like an early prototype or knockoff of the BMR part. The OEM piece replaced by the piece you’re holding is a stamped plate. My hammertone brace does not look like the rusted raw metal piece that’s on your car. It also looks like the collars are different. There may have been a revision to the part.

I didn’t ever replace that part. My suspension is stock minus the BMR lowering springs.

Can anyone tell if that’s a stock part with my vin?

Did you buy your car new?

If it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck... That looks like the BMR unit. And it looks like somebody replaced the vertical link as well.

I’m the first and only owner of the car. I definitely didn’t install them myself and I don’t even remember ordering them so this is so weird lmao
Do you guys see anything else that isn’t stock under there ?
Hoping that differential area has some upgrades 🤣

That suspension is not stock, you also have spherical / delrin vertical links :like:

WD :like:
The derlin ones are suppose to be the noisy ones? I get no noise from the rear at all

I don’t think that’s always the case, there is probably more that comes into it rather than classing all delrin as noisy :like:

I think Steeda are delrin top and bottom and I don’t think people complain they are noisy ?

Yours look to be delrin at the top and spherical at the bottom.

What size wheels / offset / tyre size have you had on there (looking at your rub marks) ?

They don’t rub they completely broke off at one point. There is a thread about that. Over torqued and spacers used when not needed lol
There’s some that are derlin and spherical ? I wonder which exact ones I have on there.
I don’t have an issue with wheel hop I just thought I would upgrade before I test out my new power levels.
I have 315/35/20 in the rear.
