Lowered = Looks Good + Sh*tty launches.

Fix = LCA's + brackets + panhard (to recenter rear) + strong swaybar + torque arm.

I use BMR and have great results. My car was lowered 1.25" with the Eibach Pro whatevers....

I noticed a big difference on mine with them installed and it isnt lowered yet. Alot more traction and less wheel hop.

I just put BMR bolt-ins and boxed arms on my car. I spent 8
hours doing rear springs/shocks, PHR, LCAs & relo brackets
including some time out for painting the work areas of the rear
with POR-15 (save the rest for later).

You cannot get the bolt-ins wrong. The weld-ins, you can,
and I saw some fugly pictures once. You can weld the bolt-
ins if you want.

You only need to get the rear in the air, loosen the sway bar
and swap away. I used a Dremel to cut the welds so the
brake bracket is clean gone, and dress down the weld bits
left (will paint later). Looks clean.

I see a real difference in traction using the lowest hole and
have not seen any downside yet.

I picked up the relo brackets used at about half retail. Not like
they are a wear item. Saves me the trouble of adding my own
rust.
