Any concerns with my set up? I'm swapping out my stock rear parts (finally) for the following:
BMR adjustable LCA's
BMR adjustable PHR
Edelbrock torque arm (non adj)
Eibach pro kit spring
Relocation brackets
Is there any problems with this set up? I already have KB DD SFC's installed. My only concern would be the torque arm not lining up with everything else???

Re: Any concerns with my set up? I would pass on the relocations. They will drop your rear end more than you care for. I just did a similar set up. see my signature for details. At any rate... it's good stuff

Re: Any concerns with my set up? Relocation brackets will not affect the ride height unless you have them welded in incorrectly or they are defective somehow. They are intended merely to lower the LCA attach points on the axle.
Droptop, your list looks fine to me except I would strongly consider substituting LGM poly/rod LCAs and Adj.PHR for the BMR parts.

Re: Any concerns with my set up? Why would you want adjustable LCA's? Just asking.
I know there has been concern over BMR parts as of late, but I am running virtually all BMR with no issues (yet).
I have:
BMR rubber/poly fixed tubular LCA's
BMR bolt in relocation brackets - helped rid straight line wheel hop.
BMR adjustable panhard
BMR adjustble torque arm - helped straight line traction.
BMR weld in tubular SFC's
BMR solid front and rear sway bars.
SLP Eibach Springs
Bilstein Shocks
I by no means am an expert, just sharing. Car handles very nice, and is a convertible. Never had it hard on a road coarse, and have drag raced a few times. I'm happy

Re: Any concerns with my set up? FWIW the LCA mounts *could* effect the ride height if they were in a bind with the torque arm. This would require you to have a torque arm WITHOUT a fore-aft slider mount (I believe madman's is like this).
If the rear end cant locate rotationally or front-back, then the ride height will have to change to accomidate whatever the lca length is. Changing the lca mount could easily have this same effect if it changes the fore-aft location.
Now most torque arms can move fore aft, and while there may be some initial friction "binding", once you drive around a bit everything should settle and your ride height should be the same.

Re: Any concerns with my set up?

FWIW, my LG poly/rod LCA's are every bit as quiet as the BMR rubber/poly LCAs they replaced. I have heard some complain of increased noise, but that wasn't my experience. Just thought I'd throw that out in case noise is a concern...
