Try this fix!!! http://www.lmperformance.com/27175/73.html

 

Do a search and you'll find some pictures of those BMR brackets all bent up...they are weak.

If you're buying new, get the CHE ones, they're fully boxed.

 

Thanks for the info, but some links would be helpful. Who/what is CHE? I really don't see how they would get bent unless they contacted the ground or had gonzo hp at the wheels.

 

Here's something,,,,,,

 

^^ I can't get the link to work Rick???

 

I'll try to fix it ,just give me a few,

I still can't find what 06GT was talking about on the bent brackets. I'll look again later.

looks awesome and sounds like a mod ill be doing in the not too distant future. correct me if im wrong though but dont they highly suggest getting these brackets welded on? thought i read that somewhere

 

Thanks for the links. The CHE bracket does look like a better design.
The BMR website does suggest welding. I've read elsewhere that welding is only needed for drag racing.

 

,,thanks for your reply,,I do understand what your saying ,but I do not feel the need to weld them in at this time,,if you have a car with 500 or 600 HP I would say yes ,weld them in ,under 400 HP I think really no need to,,if you do alot of track time / drag racing,,I say yes again,,but I will keep mind as a weekend rider for now,,and I am going to change the Control Arms soon anyway,,,maybe then I'll take the car to a weld shop and do just that,,yes I may have read the same as you ,,but I think they was talking about cars with alot of HP.,,my car may have now ,,330 or 340 HP now,,so I think I'm safe for now.

 

,,,respectfully in reply to your post ,,as you can see the ones on my car are made different than the ones in the picture you have posted and I feel that is a big differents in how they will work better ,

 

,,,respectfully in reply to your post ,,as you can see the ones on my car are made different than the ones in the picture you have posted and I feel that is a big differents in how they will work better ,Attachment 76188[/quote],,PLEASE before you buy any brackets ,please notice the number of support " bolt " holes on each side of the brackets ,this is to keep the bracket from moving back and forth,,get it,,,the ones I have use all factory holes,,you will need four holes on each side of the bracket,,two of the holes are for the Control Arm .

 

With much respect to all reading,,,PLEASE do your research,,its your car ,your money ,but most of all its your life and the life of others ,that you put faith into the parts you buy for your cars,

 

That's why I bought the ones that don't have any history of bending/breaking after install

 

OK, just to clear things up. We're talking about 3 different sourced LCA relocation brackets, BMR, CHE and the UMI brand that Rick has. The problem area appears to be the passenger side mount. The BMR brand only has one hole for the mount, one of two choices for the LCA and one on the tab that extends up to the axle mount. The UMI that Rick has have two holes for the mount which would appear to eliminate the possibility of the bracket being able to rotate and bend like the picture of the BMR that 06GT kindly provided the link for. However the CHE brackets appear to mount the same as the BMR in the links provided. So it would appear they would be subject to the same failure possibility as the BMR. From what I can tell by studying all these pics for the last 30 minutes is that the UMI brackets that Rick has mounted appear to be superior to both the CHE and BMR. Just my 2 cents.
