Question Which upper control arm do I want?

Going lowered soon with Steeda Sport springs, so 1" front and 1.25" rear is what they advertise.

I have BMR rear LCA's and their relo brackets already, and a DSS driveshaft all installed.

Which UCA do I want and why?

Why not pick up the BMR uca and bracket? I have UPR uca and bracket and they are great as well. I have heard of a couple people not able to get the adjustment the way they want it with the BMR. Operator error maybe?

Jay's pushin the Whiteline's , Frank's got good things to say about what he's gotten so far... I've priced out Steeda, BMR, and Whiteline... If I could get a package deal similar to what I can get with Steeda or BMR it'd be an easier choice.

Its expensive, but worth it. Metco. Jay can hook you up. Second choice would be WL.
Whatever you get, make sure to get the matching mount.

Steeda is a proven leader in racing ... and our parts are high quality and made in the U.S.A. ... what's holding you back?

You can see from many posts and searches that are products hold up ... we beat the $%^& at places like Sebring so they will do just that ... last!

Let me know if I can help provide details or supporting evidence of why you should go with Steeda.

Yessir! I push whiteline for many reasons. They're proven, some of the best race teams run whiteline (PAS and vorshlag for an example). They're proven for the street too providing a huge performance increase while being able to provide little to no increased NVH. We've ran whiteline on 700+ HP applications with zero issues, ran on the track and strip then DDing and have been extremely happy with the product and customer service.

I just installed my Steeda UCA and mount today. Excellent quality and fitment.

That looks really good ... how did you choose the hole you're using at the front bolt?

Thanks Gabe. I just chose the hole that was equivalent to the OEM location, at least for starters.

Fitment issues and increased NVH can occur when leaving the stock mount in.

Because I prefer my suspension to be firm and responsive, and with no wheel-hop from a dig. I've owned several S197, including a 2005 GT, a 2008 SGT, a 2012 Boss 302 and now my 2013 GT, and they have all benefitted from aftermarket UCAs and LCAs.
