BMR Suspension has acquired Heidts Suspension. This acquisition allows BMR Suspension to further its business goals of providing American-made suspension and chassis products at an affordable price.

“BMR Suspension and Heidts Suspension are like two sides of the same coin,” Allan Miller, president of BMR Suspension, says. “BMR dominates the American late-model market, and Heidts dominates the American muscle cars and street rods, so this synergy is perfect for our two companies and customers moving forward.”

“This acquisition combines decades of engineering expertise, U.S. manufacturing capabilities, and a deep focus on quality,” Wallace Leyshon, president/CEO of Heidts Suspension, states. “Moving forward, this partnership ensures that we will expand our commitment to American craftsmanship while developing innovative suspension solutions for the vehicles our customers love.”

Both BMR and Heidts will continue to operate independently, serving their respective customers. BMR Suspension will continue to expand upon its established lineup for Ford, GM, and Mopar offerings. At the same time, BMR and Heidts will collaborate closely to create exciting new product lines, reinforcing their position as leaders in aftermarket suspension systems for American muscle and late-model vehicles.

The 60th annual L.A. Roadster Show will be held on Friday and Saturday, June 19-20, 2026, at the Fairplex in Pomona. It celebrates a milestone year for one of the country’s most iconic hot rod events. Long regarded as a must-see for car enthusiasts, the show is renowned for its massive swap meet, which offers rare parts, memorabilia, and hard-to-find treasures, as well as an impressive display of hot rods, custom muscle cars, and trucks.

The big news for 2026 is that the L.A. Roadsters are teaming up with the SO-CAL Speed Shop as co-presenters. This year marks the 60th annual L.A. Roadster Show and Swap, as well as the 80th anniversary of the SO-CAL Speed Shop. It’s a natural pairing that brings together two legendary names in hot rod culture.

Attendees can look forward to new, exciting awards and giveaways this year to celebrate the 60th anniversary, as well as an expanded vendor midway. Some of the new awards include the L.A. Roadsters award, presented by the L.A. Roadsters; the SO-CAL Speed Shop award, presented by Peter Chapouris IV; the P-Woods Pick, presented by Pete “P-Wood” Eastwood; and the Fat Jack memorial award, presented by John Robinson. Each award recipient will receive a custom pinstriped, hand-lettered vintage cooler.

If you haven’t been, this is the year to attend.
