BMR Suspension and Chassis Products
BMR Suspension and Chassis Products
When BMR Suspension began back in 1998, it was difficult for performance automotive enthusiasts to find suspension products that had an innovative design and quality construction at an affordable price. BMR turned this market void into a business philosophy, and has been serving customer's needs ever since. Currently offering chassis, suspension, and drivetrain products for 22 different vehicles, BMR is the leading suspension manufacturer in many of the market segments that it serves.
Whether you are interested in street performance, hardcore drag racing, or handling applications, BMR Suspension has the products that you need. Proudly made in the U.S.A. in a manufacturing facility near Tampa, Florida, American workers cut, bend, notch, drill, and mill components from American-made DOM and chrome-moly steel. Then, every product is fixture-welded to maintain consistent quality. Workers bead-blast parts and then powdercoat them using BMR's in-house powdercoating line. Finished parts are then assembled and packaged in the assembly department. By manufacturing every product in house, BMR can control the quality at every stage of the manufacturing process.
BMR Suspension products fit and work so well because they are street driven and track tested on BMR project vehicles. Past project cars include a 2005 Mustang drag car, a 2005 Mustang street car, a 2004 GTO, and a 1994 Camaro. BMR's current project vehicles include a 2016 Camaro, three 2015 Mustang GTs, a 2011 Mustang GT, a 2010 Camaro, and a 1969 Camaro. As if that were not enough, BMR also has a 2009 G8 GT, a 2008 Trailblazer SS,a 2003 Mach 1 Mustang, a 2000 Grand Prix GTP, a 1998 Camaro, a 1990 Mustang LX, a 1971 Camaro, a 1970 Chevelle, a 1967 Chevelle, and a 1968 GTO. But it is more than just great vehicles-virtually every BMR employee is a racer or hot rodder, as well. This love of racing is demonstrated everyday in BMR's customer service, design innovation, and manufacturing quality.
By continuing to push the envelope in product design innovation and manufacturing technology, you can be sure that BMR Suspension will continue to offer the most innovative, quality-oriented, affordable suspension products available.

What is a rear brake kit?
A rear brake kit is a complete brake system with oversized calipers, rotors, and pads to fit the rear of your vehicle. The calipers will house larger, more efficient pistons to help increase braking performance. The larger rear rotors and pads help with heat dissipation, and cooler running brakes tend to perform better.
What does a rear brake kit do?
Stopping your vehicle quicker, in a shorter distance, and with reduced brake fade is much safer. Some people upgrade their brake pads, others choose drilled or slotted rotors, some add stainless brake lines, and even more simply upgrade to a premium brake fluid. However, rear big brake kits combine all those upgrades and add high performance calipers for the ultimate way to achieve maximum stopping power. As a bonus, most rear big brake kits fill that gap behind your wheels and can increase your vehicle’s resale value.
Are rear big brake kit upgrades worth it?
Of course they are. From a safety perspective, vehicles with increased performance, larger wheels, and/or larger tires should add a rear big brake kit as soon as possible. The increased stopping power of a rear big brake kit can mean the difference between stopping and blowing past your stop.
What are the best rear brake kit brands?
Accesspeed offers several brands of rear big brake kits, including Brembo, Wilwood, Baer, Stoptech, AP Racing, SSBC, Rotora, R1 Concepts, Alcon and PBR. Each rear big brake kit manufacturer has its own unique place in the brake market, making it difficult to play favorites.
I have bigger wheels and tires - do I need bigger rear brakes?
Yes. Bigger wheels and tires are both bad for your brakes, but bigger AND heavier wheels and/or tires are bad for your rear brakes. In most cases, a 10% increase in wheel/tire size and/or weight will reduce your rear brake system performance by 10%. This problem is most obvious on trucks, SUVs and Jeeps running oversize wheels and tires. If you have already upgraded to bigger wheels or tires, you may have already learned this fact, and hopefully not the hard way.
Why are rear big brake kits priced where they are?
Stock rear brake systems are designed and built by the millions for production vehicles, using the least costly materials and methods possible. Aftermarket rear big brake kits are designed and manufactured in smaller quantities using higher quality materials, advanced production methods, and achieving higher performance braking goals. In addition to R&D and production investments, aftermarket rear big brake kits have a higher marketing cost per unit sold.
