RE: BMR Lower Control Arm (LCA) and Relocation Bracket Installation (w/pics)
I am curious about something.
When you installed the relocation brackets wouldn't that make the length where the LCA fit longer?
So how would you get the new LCA to fight right?
I have adjustabled LCAs to install, so if I make them the same length as the orginals how do you fight them in place?
The NVH noise blocks that you removed, how do you know that is what they are for?
I haven't looks to see if my car has them, I am planning on doing some of this work this weekend and I am wondering about any adverse effects from removing them.

Nice writeup, although I did mine a week or so back!
Quick question: where did you find guidance on using the upper or lower hole in the LCA relocation bracket? You state "Note on which hole to use; If at stock ride height or up to an inch drop (like the Steeda Ultralites), use the TOP hole. If you have more of an aggressive drop, you may want to consider using the LOWER hole. " I have the Steeda springs with 1" drop, but used the lower hole of the LCA. What's the downside, if any?

No problem using the lower hole. You MAY notice a harsher ride when accelerating but most likely you won't. Using the lower hole will give you slightly more traction upon acceleration.
