i ordered some CHE relocation brackets about 2 months ago and just decided to put them on...when i recieved them they looked really well made and stout.
Go to install them; WHAT A PAIN!!
try the driver side first....wont slide on, so i clamp the oem LCA bracket a little and push it on...next...bolt holds wont line up...screw that side...
go to the passenger side...bolt holes wont line up. Ok so i grab my dremel and grind a little away at a time.....one side took 45 minutes because i didnt want to grind off to much. FINALLY LINES UP.
back to the drive side...look at the bolt holes where the bolt goes through the oem bracket..neither of them line up. Stick a smaller bolt through it to see how it would effect the bracket. Lower the car and watch the flex as the GF backs the car off of the blocks of wood and then forward as i watch...goes forward and PAH; bracket bends to all hell so i just pull it off and have $120 in metal in my garage. I took my steeda billet LCA's off as well because of too much gear whine coming into the cabin...
Now im looking at Whiteline or BMR. Whiteline LCA's because of their new bushings and BMR because alot of people recommend them; anyone have any issues with whiteline Relo brackets not fitting?
