Default LCAs: BMR or Steeda?


I am finally going to put LCAs on this month. Was hopping to get some opinions for which of the "no hop" kits to go with. So far I have Eibach Pro Kit springs, Steeda HD caster/camber strut mount plates, and Steeda adj. panhard bar. If you haven't noticed I have been more into the SHOW over the GO. Now I'm moving on to the go and I'm starting with suspension modds. Can I use the BMR relocation brackets with the Steeda Billet LCAs?

Not sure, but you can use the Steeda relocation brackets with the Steeda billet LCA's. FYI, they have to be welded in.

You can use any combination of LCA's and relocation brackets. All the brackets are made to hold the same size LCA's. All LCA's have the same dimensions as far as length & width because they are made as replacements for stock.

you don't need them welded but they will offer more support if they are welded on. i just put some CHE relocation brackets on my BMR control arms. just need to get them welded. held up pretty good without welding at the track this past friday though.

If you look at the design of the CHE brackets -- those don't require welding at all because they're boxed over the flange and help to reinforce the LCA flange. The other brackets are recommended to go with welding because there's a very slim possibility of the wheel hitting something and the bracket getting forced around because it doesn't have a reinforced box design.

There was one horror story with pics of a bent out of shape LCA flange at TMS on a bracket that wasn't welded in place, but there's been a fair amount of skepticism about how likely the scenario was to cause the issue.

I have the J&M LCAs and relocation brackets and like them. I like the bushing design on the J&M arms.

I have been wondering about those. Glad to see someone happy with them. I might have to go with those.
