It escapes me where I read that. Now I'm going to go crazy trying to find it.

Ran all last year in 12's and 11's and never had them. I did just install a front from BMR and it went on easy, haven't decided which rear to install yet though, probably Ford Racing.

I vote that you're crazy.



I see you have Metco loops... what brand of LCAs do you have?

I have the BMR loop and it was EASY. No seat/carpet removal or matching LCA's required.

you guys are taunting me

Of course now I can't find where I read that. It's probably wrong but I distinctly remember reading it somewhere and thinking it was odd because I knew George didnt have metco LCAs

So... it's looking like $190 is about as good as it gets for the Metcos... unless someone knows something and is holding back on me.

Dustin,
You are thinking of the Metco lower control arm relocation brackets. Those will only work with their arms supposedly. The driveshaft loops will work regardless.

MAK Performance has the Metco loops for $169, which is the cheapest I've seen anywhere.

Note: This kit will ONLY work with Metco Motorsports Lower Control Arms. Complete "Bolt-In". No cutting, welding or drilling holes!
(from website sellin them for 169 above)

If you read the entire description though, they have the whole thing wrong. The description is for the Lower Control Arm Relocation/Instant Center brackets. The picture is correct though, as well as the corresponding price.

vs.



I am not looking to get into a flame war here but if you can find our parts for only $25.00 more then do it. Our parts are far more beefy and NHRA / IHRA legal. Metco is not by the book as written by NHRA

The Metco I installed on my car was beefy enough for me. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headscratch.gif[/img]

Just out of curiosity, why do you feel the need to take shots at other people/products? Inferiority complex?
And yes, I still remember the ugly thread [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nono.gif[/img] : http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?s=...ndpost&p=626492

Don't expect to find a GMS product on my car anytime soon. Even if they were the best thing since chunky peanut butter, I wouldn't buy them just on general principle now.
