BMR Suspension XSB002 User Manual
4th GEN F-BODY XTREME REAR ANTI-ROLL BAR INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDED TOOLS:
Wrenches – ½”, 9/16”, ¾”(2)
Sockets – 10mm, ½”, 13mm, 9/16”, ¾”,
3/8” drive ratchet
Drill with ½” drill bit (angle drill is preferable)
Hydraulic jack and jack stands (or service lift)
NOTE: Use of an adjustable panhard rod is highly recommended before proceeding with this installation. Adjustable panhard rods
allow the user to properly center the rear end in the chassis, a necessary requirement for the installation of this product.
INSTALLATION:
1. Lift the vehicle and safely support it under the axle with jack stands. The installation is much simpler with the suspension
loaded. Remove wheels/tires.
2. Using a 13mm wrench and socket, remove the nuts from the sway bar end links and remove the end links. (IMAGE 1)
3. Using a 13mm socket, remove the nuts from the u-bolts that mount the sway bar to the rear end. Remove the OE sway bar.
See IMAGE 2.
4. Using a 13mm socket, remove the (2) bolts from the sway bar end link mounting brackets then remove the brackets as shown
in IMAGE 3 below.
XSB001, XSB002 – 1982-2002 Camaro and Firebird
5. Locate the BMR frame mounts and begin with the passenger side. Bolt the BMR mount on to the frame using the OE
mounting bolts. Tighten to 38 ft/lbs. (IMAGE 4)

6. Proceed to the Drivers’ side of the vehicle. Unbolt the brake line bracket using a 10mm wrench. (IMAGE 5)
7. Duplicate steps 4-5 on the drivers’ side using the other supplied bracket. Re-position the fuel and brake line bracket to the
BMR mount and bolt it into place using the supplied 5/16” x .75” bolt, washer and lock-nut. NOTE – re-positioni ng this
bracket may require slight bending of the OE hard lines. (IMAGE 5.5)
8. The next step involves removal of the shocks to gain access to the upper drill points. Fold the rear seat down and pull up the
carpet to gain access to the upper shock stud. Using a 13mm deep socket, remove the upper shock nut (IMAGE 6) then
remove the lower shock nut with a 18mm socket.
9. Using a 13mm socket, remove the bump stops on both sides of the vehicle. (IMAGE 7)
10. Using the upper mounting hole as a drill guide, drill a ½”
hole through the frame web. NOTE: there are (2) ways to do
this. If you have a low-profile or an angle drill, you can drill
from the outside using the hole in the BMR mount as your
guide (this is the easiest method). If you only have a straight
drill, take measurements then drill a small pilot hole from the
inside. Once the pilot hole is drilled, it can be sighted from
the outside then corrected if misaligned with a step bit or die
grinder.
11. Once the hole is drilled, insert the provided ½” x 1.5” bolt,
using the provided aluminum spacer between the BMR
bracket and the drilled frame web. Put a washer and nut onto
the bolt and tighten to 50 ft/lbs. Duplicate steps 10 and 11on
the Drivers side.
