Are there any other brands that are better? And would it not be better to change uppers and lowers? just a thought, been looking at doing this

Ya I like the LCA also, Installed them and relo brackets too. I can say this though my ride is harsh as hell now and u feel the road a hell of alot more.

positive side no more wheel hop and the car puts the power down to the ground now, roasting 2nd gear is no problem and chirping 3rd comes easy now

I switched to J&M and haven't had any problems since. The bushing setup is different than most LCA's. They also provide their own grease, so that way you know you're using just the right grease. What really made me mad about the BMR's is that I only had about 1000 miles on them and maybe 30 passes at the track. I usually launched at about 3k. My 2nd 5K+ launch and the bushing blew out. But, it's not just me. Many people have had the bushings fail. BMR says they had a bad batch of bushings, but the amount of people that had trouble, and the large spread between purchase dates tells me something else.

I'm just hoping my upper doesn't go out on me. That's still BMR and I'd really hate to replace that. The UCA is an enormous pain.

Would you recommend doing both at the same time? I'm on the fence about these and people are saying they are seeing differences with just lowers
