these seem pretty expensive but ive heard good things about bmr. i recently took a corner a little hot and i slid across the road a bit due to bad tires and shafty suspension so im trying to make it better i know its a fwd family car so it will only get so good but im gonna make improvements.

Trailing and trailing arms?
 
Are you planning on doing autocross or just want better handling?

Why spend that kind of coin when you go a cheaper yet still effective route? Personally, I have:
OTTO strut tower bar
GMPP front sway bar
GMPP rear sway bar
Aurora rear strut bar
GMPP trailing arms
Eibach lowering springs

My car handles fairly well for a FWD sedan. You could go without the springs, but if you are willing to spend $500 then why not add more to the list than just trailing arms?

Agree with list except for a few things, you're not going to find GMPP trailing arms anymore, so aftermarket is going to your choice. In regards to Eibach springs, they suck... And if you do go with the springs, don't expect your stock struts to last long with that type of drop.
 
BMR makes good stuff. The trailing arms are very thick. They will rub with wide wheels that have a high offset. They usually have sales for black friday and cyber monday.
 


do what you want, but kyb gr2's, eibach pros (anti pogo washers) zzp tubular trailing arms, gmpp front and rear sways, and 245/45/18's = sh**load of grip and 90mph corners:) not by any means setup for drag but definitely for mountain roads
 
You could always check out local junkyards or Morad and get the trailing arms of a Gxp or monte SS :) and save some money.
 
Those aren't GMPP replicas. They're basically Doorman trailing arms. The GMPP trailing arms were tubular, not boxed.
 


Depending on what you are looking to spend/do. There's lots of options. Myself, I was sick of seeing the tinfoil lateral and toe links on these cars always being bent from tow trucks etc.

If you dare.. search for my Regal build. It wasn't super expensive and the car definately handles better.
