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. When performance is a must, rely on BMR Suspension! Accesspeed is proud to offer BMR Suspension products to our customers.

Mass Air Flow Sensors
What is a Mass Air Flow Sensor or MAF?
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is part of your vehicle's electronic fuel injection system. The MAF sensor calculates the total amount of air entering the engine through the intake tract, and tells the computer how much fuel to inject for air coming through the intake.
How does a mass air flow sensor work?
The mass air flow (MAF) sensor has two sensing wires in the housing that protrudes into the intake tube prior to the throttle body. One wire is heated by electrical current, the other is not heated at all. As air flows across the heated wire, it cools the wire down. When the temperature difference between the two sensing wires changes, the MAF sensor automatically increases or decreases the current to the heated wire to compensate, telling the computer how much fuel to send through the fuel injectors.
How much horsepower and mpg increase can I expect from an aftermarket mass air flow sensor?
Aftermarket performance mass air flow (MAF) sensors replace your OEM sensor and improve on mileage and can increase horsepower by up to 20-HP, depending on the vehicle and engine. Performance MAF sensors increase airflow and low-end torque, without robbing top-end power, and works with factory electronics.
What are the symptoms of a bad mass air flow (MAF) sensor?
- The engine hesitates or drags while under load or idling.
- During acceleration, you experience hesitation and jerking.
- The engine coughs, sputters, or hiccups.
- Excessively rich idling or lean idling.
- The engine is difficult to start or crank over.
- The engine stalls or dies shortly after starting.
Can you drive with a bad mass air flow sensor?
Yes and no. Yes, you can drive your vehicle with a bad mass air flow (MAF) sensor, but only to get it home or to a repair shop to fix or replace it. Ignoring this problem can lead to far more severe engine problems and damage.
Why would a car run better with the mass air flow sensor unplugged?
If your vehicle runs better with your MAF sensor unplugged, you likely have a shorted-out sensor. When the computer does not read a signal from your mass air flow sensor, it provides the computer with a stock signal that will allow you to drive your vehicle for a short period of time to get it fixed or replaced.
