Madman SYA bars, stock LCAs BMR-K wont fit I cant seem to get my madman SYAs to fit after doing a little nosing around I see everyone running them has tubular LCAs... I don't, and I REALLY want to run sunday I already crushed two oil pans with 3.90 rear gears so Im hoping my 3.40 swap will tame the car a little off the line and allow me to run the whole 1/4 on 28s. It seems with a slight adjustment I can make these things attatch to the rearmost LCA bolt... Is this okay? or will it cause my aligment to move ? I really have to have these to run the possibility of stitching up another oil pan is not an option.

Are we talking about the front LCAs? If so adjusting the bolts will 100% alter your alignment. I ran into an issue with an aftermarket k and ended up having to run new LCAs. The issue was re-aligning the front end with the stock arms and not having enough room.

It's no secret, yes it was a PA Racing k member. I spoke with them, Jason @ PA was stand up about it. He did say that it helps to specify stock arms when ordering so his guys bend the tubing appropriately. I had the choice to send it back, cut my stock arms for clearance, or buy an aftermarket arm. PA gave me a discount on their arms so I told him to make me a set. PA already has one of the cheapest arms (price wise) on the market, so with a discount, it worked out well.

And though they don't list it on their website, he can make you one with the built in motor stands like the competitions, where all you need is your stock clamshells. You don't have to run a bolt on solid mount like their site shows. That's how I had him make mine. Just an FYI.
