Default What should i do?

My buddy is selling the following BMR parts, i know i want the LCAs and the LCA Relocation brackets... what else should i pick up from him that would make a difference?

Upper control arm mount, Adjustable panhard rod, Adjustable Control arms (street version) Adjustable Upper Control Arm (with spherical bearing) and the Control arm relocation brackets.


Everything is new.

upper adj is better for adjusting pinion, the bracket is supposed to strengthen it?

panhard you will want to recenter the rear end

so might as well just get it all ahah...

Pretty much what he said, although the upper is better for adjusting pinion angle, if you are getting the lcas for a good price, at least as good as fixed piece you might as well get all of it.

I heard that the uca / uca reloc bracket is a PIA to install and a lift is needed. Also the gas tank needs to be dropped?

You don't have to drop the gas tank, but it is easier if you have a lift. You also have to remove the rear seat to loosen the nuts connecting the uca to the body. Not an easy job.

If the UCA includes a new mount then yes you do need to drop the gas tank to install it. It is difficult but can be done. Make sure the tank is as close to empty as possible.

Alright. I'll probably pass on the uca / uca mount. If anyone is interested in a brand new Adj. UCA and UCA mount pm me. BMR products in black color.

The UCA is $135 + the $74 for the adj spherical bearings.

The mount is $140.

^ Thats according to BMR's website.

I'll let em go for $230 + shipping.

Get those relo brackets welded in if you can. All it takes is a bead across the top of both sides of each bracket. You can see it in the pic of mine being welded earlier this week.
