San Rafael, Calif. – March X, 2026 – Hart Marx Advisors (HMA) announced today it has successfully facilitated the acquisition of Heidts Automotive, which will now to be referred to as Heidts Suspension, by Miller Performance Parts, the parent company of BMR Suspension. This acquisition allows BMR Suspension to further its mission of providing innovative, quality-oriented, American-made suspension and chassis products at an affordable price.
Both BMR and Heidts will continue to operate independently of each other, continuing to serve the needs of their respective customers. BMR Suspension will continue to expand upon its established lineup for late-model Ford, GM, and Mopar offerings, while Heidts Suspension will remain true to its street rod and muscle car core. 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.
“BMR Suspension and Heidts Suspension are like two sides of the same coin,” says Allan Miller, President of BMR Suspension. “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, US manufacturing capabilities, and a deep focus on quality,” states Wallace Leyshon, President/CEO of Heidts Suspension. “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.”
