BMR Suspension Polyurethane Rear Suspension Kit (RSK017R)
If you're looking to take your 1968-1972 GM A-body to the next level, the BMR Suspension Polyurethane Rear Suspension Kit is exactly what you need. Designed specifically for models like the Buick Skylark, Chevrolet Malibu, Oldsmobile 442, and Pontiac GTO, this kit helps you launch harder, reduce wheel hop, and achieve cornering consistency like never before.
Why Choose BMR Suspension?
Stock control arms with soft rubber bushings can flex under load, absorbing power instead of transferring it to your tires. BMR’s non-adjustable Rear Suspension Kit (RSK017R) changes the game with its robust design. This kit features:
- Lower and upper control arms made from heavy-duty DOM steel tubing.
- Control arm reinforcement braces that minimize frame deflection.
- 95-durometer polyurethane bushings that enhance responsiveness.
Key Features
- Fits 1968-1972 GM A-bodies
- Non-adjustable design for straightforward installation
- Greasable polyurethane bushings for durability
- Heavy-duty construction with MIG and TIG welding
- Available in black hammertone or vibrant red powdercoat
- Installation time: Approximately 3-4 hours
- Proudly designed and made in the U.S.A.
Benefits of the RSK017R Kit
This suspension kit is crafted for street performance, drag racing, and road racing applications. With the upper and lower control arms designed to eliminate flex, you’ll experience improved repeatability whether you’re on the street or at the track. The bushings are firm enough to handle aggressive launches while still providing a comfortable ride, so you won’t have to compromise on NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) levels.
