Re: Lower control arm question

I dont think it really matters if it is boxed or tubular, there is many vendors for LCA's. My personal favorite is BMR fabrication. you can check the sites sponsers too. relocation brackets are not necessary for your install, but can be beneficial in improving 60 ft. times.

Re: Lower control arm question

some people say relocation brackets work wonders some people say they didnt notice.. same thing with subframe connectors tho.. Im getting them just because i think they will help. Meangreenz or something got them and said they were a huge improvement but that was with the lower control arms at the same time.

Re: Lower control arm question

tubular lca are fine

bmr makes nice pieces...all my suspension stuff is bmr...
the nice thing is that you can get poly/rubber as an option on the lca to keep road noise down. i noticed a nice increase in traction...more like a lack of wheel hop...when i installed mine.

and the brackets will help, but if you are already getting good traction than there isn't much to gain. they are more for lowered cars, although all car benefit some

Re: Lower control arm question

go with UMI performance had my UMI stuff sitting next to my buddies BMR and they look identical and are both made from the same materials. UMI is a bit cheaper than BMR and I think they are just as good. Never had a problem with any of my UMI stuff. My .02
