Say the word "chrome" slowly about ten times. It loses all meaning...

Hey, NyFordTech, what dealership you work in?

I just went to the bmrfabrication website, and it looks like I am about to spend $$$ on suspension parts. Thank you all for the input, now I have to figure out a way to blame you guys when I tell my wife how much more I'm spending on the car, she already knows about the supercharger, oh boy.

Spohn vs. Che vs. Steeda

Spohn is excellent quality, they are nearly identical to BMR. Both brands havehave very good fabrication quality, and they have lube fittings for easy maintenance.

CHE are popular, but I personally do not like them becasue they do not have lubrication fittings. This makes maintenance difficult. Supposedly the CHE parts are made of a special plastic that doesn't require lube, but I am not sure I buy that theory. Also, fairly recently someone was reporting some clunking noise problems with the CHE parts, becasue their bolt holes were oversized. I have not seen this personally, but it's something to consider.

Steeda: The billet aluminum ones are overpriced and they are known to break on high HP cars. The tubular steel ones are priced OK, but they have mediocre welding quality (at best), and none of them havegrease fittings.And unlike CHE, they use traditional poly bushings which do require lubrication. How are you supposed to properly maintain these when there is nolubrication provision? I would not run these on my car, ever...espeically when I could buy a better product from nearly any other vendor for the same or less money.

Kewl, a little far up the island from me, I got my car from mcCarville, who are closing up shop after 60 years, btw.

So if i have BMR progressives 1.5"front 2"rear springs with steedas LCA´s, do i REALLY need the relocation brackets?
sry im a suspension noob

What are the cons of not having them ?

CrazyAl

Mex, that depends on what you mean by "need". Will your car explode without the relocation brackets? No. You can drive it and it will be reliable. BUT, if you lower your car (especially that much) without the relocation brackets, your traction will suffer, especially from a stop.

MexGT

Yeah i want the most grip as possible, not modifying the entire suspension though... will the relocation brackets help it?
