To fix a problem you need to troubleshoot. Thinking might be the first step in troubleshooting.
Get it through your head. Take the ******* brackets off and reinstall the lca's in the stock brackets.
And while you're at it get your lazy *** to remove TWO MORE BOLTS, this way you have BOTH lca's in your hand and you can LOOK at the bushings instead of GUESSING their condition.
Getting your hands dirty is the second step to trouble shooting a problem. Typing on the computer and trading pics will get you nowhere.

I drove my car ONCE with the tape on there because I had to get home. They were installed back into the middle hole the next day. This is clearly stated on the first page. Also, at no point in this thread have I guessed the condition of my lca bushings. This is my 4th time swapping them in. I'm well aware of their condition. What I said was that I did not check the TA mount and bushing. Perhaps you would have noticed this if you had read the thread more carefully and weren't quite so eager to go curse out someone who is curious as to why his parts are not performing correctly.
I was simply asking 99bluz28's opinion on the matter. He has been very helpful, friendly and patient with me thus far and I was just curious as to what his opinion was.
please do not post in this thread again.

Perhaps it was an installation error. Beings that I'm not a lazy *** I'm going to try to reinstall the brackets and see if that helps. See how far typing has gotten me?

Just seems easier to do it that way to me.
Another way to say it. You made one change to your car and it caused a problem. Undo that change, if the problem goes away then it's the change you made. Can't get any easier than that.
I think I also said to move the lca's to the stock mount hole, you should be able to move the lca's into all three holes without moving the housing. To move it to the third hole (stock location, remove that bolt)
Seems to me you guys are just guessing, you're on day four and have no clue what the problem is yet. Mainly because you won't listen.
Even a manufacturer recommends what I said AFTER I said it.

ok, i guess can understand your frustration a bit more now.
i knew that the problem was being caused by the brackets all along. what i was asking(may have been unclear) was why i had problems in the bottom hole and not the middle or stock hole. basically whether they were installed wrong, made wrong, or if it was common with brackets and required a phb or lca's to fix.
it's rained every day since i put them back to the middle hole so i haven't gotten a chance to reinstall the brackets yet. I was hoping someone else would share their input with whether they had a similar problem and were able to fix it or if these brackets are just made incorrectly while i was waiting for a day to try reinstalling them.

well i want my car to be decent for straight line and turning so i figured the middle hole would be a good compromise since the lca's sat almost completely level, but then there was some smack talk going around about somone's car being faster than mine in the 1/4 so i wanted to try the lower hole for max straight line traction.

Which hole that is used on the control arm relocation brackets is also determined by the ride height of the car. A car that has an extremely low ride height might need to use the lowest hole in the relocation bracket even if his main objective is handling.

True, but his sig said he has the SLP eibachs which don't tend to be terribly low. I would think the middle setting would be a good place for it. I've been wrong before though
