BMR front lower control arm interference?

I'm thinking about replacing my high mileage front lower control arms with a BMR tubular set. I think I heard about an interference issue where the arms can run the rotors on lowered cars (Eibrach Pro Kit). I also have the Baer Track Kit with 1.1" thick rotors. Anybody running this combo?

Do yourself a favor and contact LG Motorsports and get their Lower A-Arms.

A much better product. And they 25% off for a while, not sure how long.

Mitchntx, what makes the LG part better ($200 more than BMR parts)? My use is street and I enjoy canyon carving so I was really looking to reduce unsprung weight by replacing my worn out stock parts.

Thanks.

Better quality control/fitment
Better parts
Proven reliability.

You will buy BMR and then continually be chasing problems, like alignment, noise, rattle ... and you will eventually get tired of the cahse and buy better quality anyway, having wasted the initial purchase price.

And, if you ask for a price match, many times Lou will give it.

Sorry, not true. I have seen no problems with QC, fit or reliability in the BMR products I have bought.
BMR tubular rearLCAs use 1.625" x .120 wall tubing. LG uses 1.25" x 0.095 wall tubing. What makes LG's the "better part"?

BMR lower A's are round tubing ... G2's are 1x3 square tubing and gussetted. Less thickness but more mass. If you are gonna compare parts, compare every aspect.

If you've had no problems, then consider yourself lucky or on borrowed time.

Oops, I missed the word "front". Never mind... :o
