BMR Suspension Rear Suspension Upgrade Kit Black Hammertone (RSK468H) - 1978-1987 GM G-Body
Launch harder, reduce performance-robbing wheel hop, and add incredible cornering consistency to your 1978 to 1987 GM G-Body with a Rear Suspension Upgrade Kit from BMR Suspension. Factory stamped-steel control arms and soft rubber bushings are notorious for flexing and deflecting under load. Instead of transferring power directly to the rear tires, these factory components absorb your engine's energy, leading to violent wheel hop and unstable handling. BMR’s non-adjustable polyurethane rear suspension kit replaces these weak stock links with heavy-duty components designed to keep your rear axle firmly controlled and plant your tires flat.
Every RSK468H kit is proudly designed and manufactured in the USA using premium DOM steel tubing to handle any high-performance application. The non-adjustable lower control arms are constructed from heavy-duty 1.50-inch diameter, 0.120-inch wall tubing and MIG-welded for absolute structural integrity. The non-adjustable upper control arms are built from 1.25-inch diameter, 0.120-inch wall tubing, making them strong enough to withstand severe compression loads. To reinforce your chassis, the kit includes TIG-welded control arm reinforcement braces made from 1.0-inch diameter, 0.156-inch wall steel tubing. These braces tie the upper and lower control arm frame mounts together, drastically reducing frame deflection during hard acceleration and hard cornering.
To deliver an incredibly responsive driving feel without sacrificing ride quality, both the upper and lower control arms are equipped with greasable, 95-durometer polyurethane bushings. These high-performance bushings feature an internally fluted design that channels grease directly to the outer thrust surfaces, keeping them fully lubricated and ensuring quiet, reliable operation. This bushing formulation balances street-driving comfort and track performance, handling heavy drag racing launches while absorbing harsh road noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). Completed with premium polyurethane differential housing bushings, zinc-coated inner sleeves, and complete heavy-duty installation hardware, this kit is finished in a durable black hammertone powder coat for long-lasting protection.
