Control Arm Relocation Brackets (CAB005)
BMR's bolt-on relocation brackets for S197 Mustangs are the ultimate in strength and adjustability. The stock lower control arm mounting location can give you insufficient lower control arm angle on lowered vehicles. BMR's control arm relocation brackets allow you to correct the lower control arm angle, correcting the rear suspension geometry and allowing you to add anti-squat for increased traction. Manufactured from heavy-duty 3/16- and 1/4-inch laser cut, CNC-formed steel plate, the CAB005 are designed to bolt in place, making installation simple and easy.

The stock control arm mounting position is fine for stock height vehicles, but once you lower your car, the control arms change and need to be corrected. The CAB005s allow you lower the lower control arms' rear mounting position by as much as 3 inches, correcting the control arm angles. This also allows you to make instant center changes for race applications. BMR Suspension designed the CAB005 to work well in street performance, drag race, and road race applications. It is engineering to bolt on and stand up to extremely high horsepower and torque levels, as well as the hardest drag strip launches without moving on the rearend housing.

Lower Control Arms (TCA019)
Stock stamped steel control arms with soft rubber bushings deflect under load and absorb power instead of transferring it to the tires. BMR's polyurethane, non-adjustable tubular control arms for S197 Mustangs (TCA019) are TIG-welded using heavy-duty 1.25x2-inch boxed steel tubing. This design gives you a strong control arm that greatly improves performance. Greasable, 95-durometer bushings add a solid, more responsive feel over the stock rubber bushings. BMR's bushings are internally fluted, which allows grease to evenly coat the inner sleeve. These flutes also direct grease to the outer edge of the bushing, keeping the thrust surface lubricated. This efficient lubrication ensures quiet, reliable operation over the life of the bushings.

BMR Suspension designed the TCA019 to work well in street performance, drag race, and road race applications. The stock control arms flex under cornering loads giving you inconsistent handling characteristics. Combine this with soft bushings that have massive amounts of deflection and you're left with poor performance. The TCA019's heavy-duty construction eliminates control arm flex, giving you much improved repeatability on the street, starting line, or in the corners. BMR's polyurethane bushings are designed to be compliant enough to give you a comfortable ride and absorb NVH, while remaining firm enough to stand up to high loads of any performance environment. The bushings easily handle the high compression loads of hard launches and hard acceleration, yet offer plenty of articulation for great handling. These are the perfect upgrade for the enthusiast looking to improve performance at an affordable price, while maintaining acceptable NVH levels and ride quality.

Upper Control Arm Mount (UCM001)
BMR's upper control arm mount is a direct replacement for the OE mount and requires no drilling or welding to install. The last generation Fox body Mustangs had upper control arm mounts incorporated into the frame. They also had two upper control arms sharing the load but drag racers were continually ripping the mounts off of the frame when racing. The solution for those cars was to weld reinforcement plates onto the frame. This new Mustang platform only has one upper control arm and the mount is only bolted into place. Our upper mount is made from heavy-duty 1/4" plate and can be either bolted or welded into place. Additionally it has dual control arm mounting points for changing instant center.

Adjustable Upper Control Arm (UTCA019)
Stock control arms with soft rubber bushings deflect under load and absorb power instead of transferring it to the tires. BMR's polyurethane, on-car adjustable tubular control arm for S197 Mustangs (UTCA019) is manufactured from heavy-duty 1 5/8 inch, 0.120-inch wall DOM steel tubing. The center adjuster is CNC-machined from chrome-moly steel with rolled threads for the ultimate in strength and durability. The arms feature TIG-welded chrome-moly tube adapters. This design gives you a strong control arm that greatly improves performance. Two-inch greasable, 95-durometer bushings add a solid, more responsive feel over the stock rubber bushings. BMR's bushings are internally fluted, which keeps grease in the bushing, even under heavy load. These flutes also direct grease to the outer edge of the bushing, keeping the thrust surface lubricated. This efficient lubrication ensures quiet, reliable operation over the life of the bushings.

BMR Suspension designed the UTCA019 to work well in street performance, drag race, and road race applications. The stock control arm flexes under even light cornering loads giving you inconsistent handling characteristics. Combine this with soft bushings that have massive amounts of deflection and you're left with poor performance. The UTCA019's heavy-duty construction eliminates control arm flex, giving you much improved repeatability on the street, starting line, or in the corners. BMR's polyurethane bushings are designed to be compliant enough to give you a comfortable ride and absorb NVH, while remaining firm enough to stand up to high loads of any performance environment. The bushings easily handle the high compression loads of hard launches and hard acceleration, yet offer plenty of articulation for great handling. The adjustable design allows for fine-tuning of the pinion angle for proper driveline alignment. These are the perfect upgrade for the enthusiast looking to improve performance, while maintaining acceptable NVH levels and ride quality.

Differential Housing Bushing (EN001)
Three link suspensions place excessive loads on the upper link bushings. In the 2005-2014 Mustangs, two bushings are responsible for handling the same torque load that four bushings had done before. Additionally, these bushings are subjected to more "twist" than before since the rearend can better articulate in a three link design. In order to allow free articulation, the OE rearend bushing is designed to flex. This flex is great for handling, but under straight line acceleration, it contributes to wheelhop and inconsistent launch characteristics.

BMR Suspension offers a no-compromise solution with it's dual-durometer five-piece polyurethane replacement bushing. By designing the bushing as a multi-piece unit, it allowed them to keep the inside portion stiff for great straight-line acceleration and the outside portions soft for bind-free articulation.

***NOTE: requires use of existing bushing shell.***

Adjustable Rear Shocks (Viking B226)
The Viking double adjustable shocks (Warrior Series) feature easy bolt-in installation in the stock mounting locations. Gone are the days of removing the shock to adjust valving because you can adjust the Vikings with just the turn of a knob while they are mounted on the car.

A 5/8"? centerless ground, hard chrome piston rod provides increased durability and eliminates piston rod flex. The machined, forged aluminum body is lightweight and stronger than billet. The body is bright anodized for unmatched durability, ease of maintenance and show winning appearance. The Viking B226s also feature a three-step sealing system that uses an exclusively engineered triple lip seal with wiper to eliminate seal drag and dirt intrusion.

The bushing material is exclusive to Viking shocks and all mounting hardware is either zinc or chrome plated for durability and professional appearance. They also use a nylon race bearing for smooth, bind-free operation.
