Default Quick LCA Question

I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of LCAs ... Which set do you guys recommend? The car isn't lowered but it will be eventually. So can I get away with not getting the brackets until I do lower the car? I was thinking about getting the BMR billet LCAs ... The car is also my daily driver so I don't want to deal with a increase of NVH ... Thanks in advance guys !!

if you want to upgrade your suspension for better performance you have to be able to deal with some more NVH. The different bushings will transfer some more noise to the cabin. I have the BMR billet aluminum LCA, i also have a BMR adj. upper control arm to set pinion angle. You don't need the relocation brackets now. They come with the BMR lowering kit, so when you're ready to lower you'll have it all. With the poly bushings on the lca you'll need a grease gun and some grease to keep the bushings noise free and lubricated

I've got the regular BMR LCA's. No NVH that I can notice but then again I've got an O/R H and Stingers.

So I DONT need the brackets if the car isn't lowered, correct?

I've got SLP LMs so if that's case, I don't think I'll be noticing it. I don't mind a little bit, I just didn't want any annoying noises that are going to drive me up the wall.

you do not need the brackets. When you are ready to lower the car, pick up the bmr lowering kit. It will have everything you need (adj. panhard rod, springs (1.25 in the front 1.75 in the back), camber bolts, new oem upper strut mounts, and lower control arm relocation brackets)

See thats what I though. But BMR told me that if I had wheel hop issues, I'd need to get both the brackets and LCAs..[&:]

lol you never mentioned the wheel hop issue, unless i missed it [&:]The BMR relocation brackets connect to the where the stock lower control arm is bolted in. I always thought that they were just there for lowered cars. I guess they can stop wheel hop also. I'm getting mine welded shortly for reinforced strength when at the track. Not sure if they will help you with wheel hop though

You only need the brackets if:
1. The car is lowered
2. The car is or is not lowered and you can not get enough traction because you are a crazy mod addict making 6 bazillion horsepower.
I wish i wasmaking 6 bazillion horsepower. [8D]
