I installed my CHE rear lower control arm relocation brackets this afternoon. I honestly thought that we were launching as good as we could at the track but after this install I would be willing to bet a hundy that we can break into the 1.5's on our 60ft times now. I have a set of Fuzion 245/45/17 tires on and they are worn slick, so slick I won't drive in the rain with them. Today even from a dead stop and a rev with clutch dump the car spun a bit and instead of squatting it felt as if the car bowed up in the rear and I could tell it was moving forward more than sitting and spinning on the street. Prior to the install the car would have fried the tires till you let off the gas or hit the rev limiter. I have always advised people that this mod would best be suited for street/strip cars but now I recall my protest as this would work well if you only drove on the street with a car that is lowered. My only difficulty was I had to open up a hole a little with a 1/2" drill bit on the passenger side as the bolt would not go through when the bracket was installed, aside from that it took about 15 minutes, well worth the money.

 

 

Derek, you always have good info to pass along!

 

Looks like I'll be ordering them tomorrow.

 

Good info Derek!

 

I agree. I have them too. Here are some pics.

 

Here is one more.

 

Where can you get them at a good price?

 

So this would help on both the Strip and street correct? I'm gonna get the Powerhouse Turbo if I ever get out of iraq and I know that traction will be a problem.

 

Is the bracket welded on? It doesn't seem it is... I thought I read that BMRs say you have to weld the brack that holds the LCAs...

 

Read....they are not BMR, they are CHE. Bah

-Dan

 

bmr's must be welded but they have two adjustments, the che only have one

 

Mike @ Powerhouse has them, if I recall correctly they were just under a hundred bucks.

 

I bought mine directly from CHE (along with their adjustable panhard bar). http://www.cheperformance.com/cartgenie/su...asp?category=15

Now I wish I could find the time to do the drop and install these goodies... :bang:

 

Ha ha Dan, very funny. The reason I ask is they look similar, and I just wanted to know if it needed welding as BMR needs welding.

 

No, they do not require any type of welding, we run them on our car in the bolt fashion that they were designed for.
We have gone 1.50 60ft, with nearly 600ftlbs at the wheels and they have had no indication of movement.

 

Mike, I am interested in some of their other suspension products as well. I will send an email or PM to follow up.

Thanks

 

What LCAs are you running with the Bracket? Just CHE's? Or could you buy BMRs LCAs and CHE's LCA Bracket?

 

The CHE brackets will work with any control arm. I am running the CHE Brackets with BMR non-adjustable poly bushing lower control arms on mine. You could just as easily use them with any other company's control arms.

 

Check my sig, we are running the Steeda street/strip adjustable lowers, and love them.
