I agree! My BMR's were a nightmare to install and it was not their fault. Just everything is so tight!
I used a jack to push mine in place

I drove my car with one factory and one aftermarket one on.....there was for sure a difference on the aftermarket side. It was pulling much harder. Just felt tighter and more to the ground etc.
They do not do a lot, but they for sure do something

I just got done installing mine, its funny how they conveniently placed the Che sticker so you can see it through the lower wheel well. For the bolts, I did spray them with WD40 first. My floor jack handle can be broken down into two parts, and with the ratchet on the bolt, placed one end of the floor jack handle over the ratchet handle and use leverage. You won't believe on how easy it is then.

Thanks for the great write up!

Yes, great write up! I was especially interested in your comment on the parking brake cable. I was just watching a show on Spike last Sunday where they were installing a Roush State III kit. They had to modify one of the LCAs for the cable. It's good to know there is at least one manufacturer out there whose product doesn't require a grinder to get it to fit.

Anyone do the upper control arm install, and what’s the level of difficulty? I don't have a angle gauge at the moment to make the necessary adjustments to bring the pinion back to specs due to the roush rear springs.

I have yet to get the upper installed, but the lowers are not making any noises. Tightened them down to 129 lbs, let us know what the shop says.
