Default BMR Relocation bracket question...help?

I'm putting in some Bolt in BMR relocation brackets on my TA and i noticed that there is some extra stock bracket......i think for the abs cables or something.


You guys with relo brackets how did you get them to work....did you remove the ABS brackets or what?
The BMR will not fit over or under with that bracket on.



heres a pictures

Correct, cut the bracket in half leaving only the side that faces the wheel intact. Slide the relocation bracket over the axle lca bracket, and bolt the e-brake bracket to that.

IIRC, you'll use the tops holes when the car is lowered also. With the car at stock height the angle will slope down towards the rear slightly. The lower holes are there to increase traction in a straight line, but have a negative impact on handling.

nah...why would they move? unless you didnt torque the bolt down good enough. There's really no force there and if the bracket did move then you would have problems with your LCA and relo moving also.
