I had an issue with the exact piece you just mentioned. Was a real pita. Kit is great other than that and have no complaints otherwise.
let me clear up what i said.. my suspension fully consists of all BMR product and the upper coilover mount was the only piece I had problems with. |

I'm getting my setup ready for Hoosier slicks on 17's.
Will I be good with MTCA030 for the LCA's? I also plan on replacing my older TCA026 trailing arms with the TCA033. I am lowered with BMR springs and have the sways via the HPP018 kit. So, anything I'm missing or any other changes or improvements? I'm not quite ready to go 15" wheels. Thanks, Padre |

You can't run those lowering springs with the MTCA030's, you have to use the Strange Eng. Shocks/Springs provided in the DRP007 Kit. Also, "I think" you could probably use your existing BMR rear sway bar, but considering the racing you do....the XTreme Anti-Roll bar would be much more suited for this application. I bought the DRP007 kit, and I already had the XTreme Anti-Roll bar, and I plan on running 17's for now. It will certainly give those 17's plenty of clearance around the LCA's, especially since it was designed for 15's!!! Should work pretty awesome. And then, down the road, if I want to convert to 15's.....all I would need is the Brake Package. If you wanted to stick with your current spring/shock set-up, these new LCA's they're making (see post #1) would work fine (even with the 17's). Since you have the older FE3 suspension, you can still use the "older" version of the LCA's too without any issues. This new version just allows use of the newer FE4 style sway bars. |

When I had my car aligned I have plenty of camber adjustment with my lowered stance(1.5+). Toe adjustment on the other hand is used up for the most part. I still have adjustment left but its like 75% used up right now. I have BMR trailing arms and toe rods, both nonadjustable.

Shoot me a PM or e-mail Padre and I will see what I can do for you so we can get some more BMR parts added to the car. Kyle These newly designed arms will be made out of mild steel just like our current ones are. The only lower control arm will build that are chrome moly are our MTCA030 which are more race oriented and are what we include in our BMR drag race suspension package that are used when guys are looking to run a 15" rear wheel. |

Are there any handling benefits these give when upgrading from FE3 LCAs?
