I received my BMR K-member, LCA relocation brackets, and adj panhard bar last week and this weekend was all business. The panhard bar and relocation brackets were very straightforward so I did not take any pics and the K member was not tricky or anything either but I decided to snap a few before and after pics to show the added clearance you gain with this thing.



Before:


After:


Very straightforward install and it helped that there was no motor in there (Should be getting that back very shortly from Boss330). The install took me 4 hrs but I was putting in the Tokico D-specs at the same time since everything was apart. One note I would like to make is that in the instructions it says to seperate the bottom ball joint but I did not have to do that which could save some time especially since its hard to get a BFH in there. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] I will be getting an alignment as soon as the car is back running and let you all know how it feels-it definately gives added clearance and thats a plus since im planning on a turbo soon and all that extra piping has to go somewhere. -Jan

 

You need to call the cops, they took your engine!

 

Did you have to specify that you wanted the parts black?
I forgot to specify and I'm guessing they'll arrive red. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nonono.gif[/img]

 

Yea everything they make comes standard in black and red. They asked me on the phone but I was gonna ask for black anyways.

Is that the Blood stains on the floor from the daceist engine? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

 

LOL no blood stains from this car yet....the motor actually came out for preventative measures but there are plenty of "stains" for the neighbors to complain about from when I had my ranger with 2.3T motor-that thing would puke out all kind of fluids.

 

Install looks great! just let us know if there are any questions you need answered...

 

is that the k-member with motor mounts or without motor mounts...i can see that the stock ones are gone and replaced by the kmember, but it looks like there is only a hole for billet ones rather than replacement of them
sorry for the dumb question, but im doing those same mods very soon

Sorry to highjack, but I have a question. Just installed some of your non adjusting LCA's with poly bushings on both ends. They are as yet ungreased. What is the correct type of lube for these things? I've been a through a bunch of previous threads full of various recommendations. Thought I would get it straight from the source.

BTW, took a short test drive and woohoo, no more wheelhop!!! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]
