DESCRIPTION
BMR is pleased to introduce the most well-balanced rear suspension available for the X-body platform (Nova). Using our proven track record in torque arm development and application, BMR has developed an application-specific torque arm conversion kit that brings modern suspension technology to this platform.

Versatility
With a torque arm you get the best of both worlds, lateral stability for acceleration traction and centered suspension articulation for bind-free handling. This makes a torque arm great for street, drag racing, or road racing without compromising any application. Our Ford 9" rear end kits include a new Strange Engineering housing and are 100% bolt-in with no welding or fabrication required.

Better spring control and dampening
The BMR Torque Arm Conversion Kit eliminates the rear leaf springs, replacing them with a custom upper cross-member, adjustable control arms and adjustable coil-over shocks (SOLD SEPARATELY). Multiple spring rates are available and BMR can help calculate your ideal spring choice when ordering.

Lateral Stability
BMR chose not to compromise when designing an axle locating device for the torque arm conversion. It would have been easy to use a Panhard rod for this application but there is nothing better than a Watts link for precise side-to-side axle positioning. The Watts link pivot is machined from 6061 billet aluminum and utilizes greasable, internally fluted Delrin bushings for a long, trouble-free life. Additionally it is supported in a double-shear fashion unlike others on the market.

Adjustability
Every component in the torque arm conversion kit is adjustable. The torque arm itself provides pinion adjustability. Control arms are adjustable in length and have multiple mounting holes plotted in an arc to provide adjustment for anti-squat characteristics. Coil-over shocks provide both compression and rebound adjustability as well as spring adjustability. Additionally, the shock/spring combos have multiple mounting holes to allow a wide range of ride heights. The Watts link pivot as well as the links themselves have multiple height mounting positions for changing rear CG location. BMR provides detailed instructions on properly setting up the kit, once installed and, as always, a knowledgeable tech staff on hand.
