BMR and UMI are both top-notch brands for suspension parts, and both of them are board sponsors

i personally have UMI LCA's & Relocation brackets (among other parts from them), and they're all holding up really well

Well does your car wheel hop? If so LCA's will fix that.

I say the brackets,and if your cars lowered, deff go with the brackets.

what does hiding it from your dad have to do with anything?

if you're talking about the price of the parts and trying to hide where the money went, just save up a little longer and get both.....just exercise some patience.

and like jsteele90 said, you can also just buy both of the parts used from someone else and save some money, too

Just in case you want another option, we carry offset adjustable LCA's. They're made of chromoly and have aircraft grade rodends. We also sell BMR's LCA relocates. If you're interested, give me a call at the shop. I'll get you prices on everything. The phone number is in my sig.

Adjustable lower control arms allow you to move the rear end back or forward.. this is usually done to gain tire clearance when running a larger tire. We also suggest to use adjustable control arms when installing most aftermarket rear ends... most aftermarket rear ends do not sit centered in the wheel well and adjusting the control arm length will allow you to center the rear end.

If the adjustable control arms have spherical bearing rod ends they have a few other advantages. Rod ends allow the suspension to travel and move freely where as solid bushings or polyurethane bushings can bind it. Also rod ends offer a sold bushing for drag racing and eliminate deflection found in rubber or polyurethane bushings.

If I can help anymore please ask. Thank you!
Ryan
