The BMR stuff is great quality, I put the upper and lower adjustable control arms, and panhard bar on mine about 3 yers ago with no issues and very little NVH if any. I also used BMR front and rear sway bars and a K-brace. My panhard brace is Steeda.

I had to lower the gas tank to install the UCA and it was a major pain in the butt, so be prepared. I tried everthing to avoid lowering the tank but it just wasn't happening.

Definitely looked impossible to do without lowering the gas tank. Honestly though, it was pretty easy to lower the tank and get it back up no problems. The most difficult part I thought was just getting to and turning the jam nuts and center nut on the upper control arm to adjust pinion angle. Now that's it's done though, I've got no problems or complaints at all.

The early 05's had a strange type of bolt head holding the tank in place and required a special "Ford" tool. It was almost like a Torex but was an inbetween size, I got them out finally with a Torex but I had to find new bolts to replace them (damaged) with. They changed those bolts later in '05 from what BMR told me.

I'm glad your's went better, nothing on a car should be such a pain in the butt.

the panhard brace is absolutely useless. Save your money for something more useful.

If anyone is looking for a BMR adjustable PHB and HD brace, I am selling mine in the S197 classified section. I planned on lowering springs, but now live in an apartment with big speed bumps, so I no longer need the adjustable bar.
