Which LCA relocation brackets? Scared of rubbing!

Ive been reading and reading on all these forums about different lca brackets and from what i can tell all of them have had minor issues. It seems whiteline has the least amount of problems. I wanted BMR until i read about some rubbing issues over at svtp. Im running stock lca's and stock sway bar. Is whiteline the best choice?

Rubbing where? I don't have the BMR relo brackets but if I could do it over again I would since they are much more adjustable. I have only heard good things about any of their products and if you contact Kelly from BMR I think he can set you straight.

It sounds like they are the best but on svtp there are a few guys with eibach pro kits and they put them on and are getting clunking and rubbing from the bmr's rubbing the sway bars. ive seen the pictures on the forum, super close. Many people have to grind them down to work..

Ok i think you may have missed a big point. Those guys also installed sway bar relocation brackets. That might have something to do with their issues

Talked to Kelly at BMR. Great guy, no worries that guy in that forum had sway bar relocation brackets that caused the issue. Ordering the BMR's!

I have the Whiteline relos - no rubbing/scraping/etc. Gave me the perfect angle for the steeda sports.

You will be very happy with Steeda the brand, if you choose to go our route.

We feel that no bolt in is a good choice. There is too much force generated back there upon acceleration to feel safe with a bolt holding it in place. Weld in, in our opinion, is the way to go.

When my steeda billet lca was installed, they passed the break line through the middle of the lca, not parallel like the picture you have here. Will that cause an issue?

To the OP do you really need relow brackets?

I picked up a set of UMI relocation brackets and installed them with my BMR LCA's, Eibach anti roll bar kit (which included new sways) and have had no issues with rubbing. Got mine off ebay for $90.

I just received my BMR's. They are very heavy duty.. Im going to bolt them on first, just to make sure they are no issues, then have them mig welded.

Mr. V,

You will not have any issues with the way it was installed. Our particular installer left it parallel to the LCA. Either way, it is going to come in contact with the LCA.

Best Regards,

TJ
