Re: bmr lower control arms? yea i heard they help the 60ft times, should i go with the relocation brackets too, i need as much help as i can get with traction, i know quartermile performance has a sick deal out on the lower control arms with relocation brackets and a bmr adjustable panhard bar for like 290 bucks. do you think i should go with that

I have the tubular poly/rubber non-adjustable LCA, they work great.

Re: bmr lower control arms? Yes will help 60ft times. I have the non adj also, but retained the stock location. The relocation brackets tend to make the rear end of the car sit an inch or two lower... and it looks ghetto. I don't think you would see a serious gain by doing it... better off without. You can always do them later if you do not get the desired effect.

Re: bmr lower control arms? cant happen. the LCA's can be removed from the car and the ride height will not move.
now if the relocation bracket was installed @ a 45 degree angle from where it should have been installed, and you made the LCA's longer or shorter to fit, or you adjusted your torque arm angle to compensate, then possibly.
but your original statement was relocation brackets in general cause an increase in ride height. ANY part installed correctly WILL have a negative and undesired result. relocation brackets are a must on a lowered car. it helps restore the LCA angle that is changed by lowering the car. you want the LCA's level. when you lower your car, the axle end of the LCA will be higher than the front (body side). relocation brackets give you a pair of lower holes to move the LCA to.
