Easy, just be shure to bend or cut the brake bracket deal out the way.

I just got those BMR LCAs installed. I noticed the grease points on both ends. Is it necessary to grease them, and if so, how often?
And I also noticed that my SS sits up higher than it used to. Is that because of the LCAs, or the front and rear sway bars (BMR) that were installed at the same time?
Thanks

The lower control arms will not effect ride height. I usually recommend lubing the bushings with a full synthetic grease once every 6 months if the car is in a more harsh environment every 3 months. The front and rear sway bars should be tightened down at ride height to prevent binding in the endlinks and premature bushing wear. Any other questions just ask
