impressed with the whitelines. they came in a cool / cute whiteline bag! next up is their phb brace. I'm smitten.
relo brackets

they package their products very well
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I noticed absolutely no additional nvh after having installed all of my BMR poducts.
Maybe your hearing sucks
All jokes aside though, I definitely noticed more noise coming from the rear after my install. It kinda sounds like a fuel pump out of an old school muscle car. Very slight, and can only be heard when the windows are up and radio off
I don't see an UCA in your sig...This is where a large majority of NVH comes from it seems with the rear suspension, but its good to hear you haven't noticed any with your relos and LCA's....Obviously some report increased noise with just those.
i can personally attest to the aftermarket upper control arm causing NVH. This past weekend, I installed steeda phb, phb brace, billet lca's, double adj. uca and competition mount. Let me start off by saying it is VERY important that you torque everything to the correct specs WITH the suspension loaded, this is very critical. First test drive after i installed the parts, noticed more clunk from the rear, from 60-80 mph had a very, very bad gear whine. It was so bad the radio wouldnt even drown it out. So, after a day of riding with it like that, I removed the upper, 95% of the noise went away. The upper control arm channels the noise straight into the cabin. On the positive side of things, the rear feels a lot more stable and planted, wheel hop is a thing of the past. The car can actually hook on the stock pirellis now. So, my advice is, if you decide to do upper, be careful with your choices. Read up.
Although companies recommend it, because if they didn't, people would rip their heads off.....you really don't need to torque the parts down at load. With a stock style bushing that is attached to the arm itself, absolutely....but on aftermarket parts, you can torque them at droop or loaded. There is a sleeve and bushing that are separate, that can/will rotate within the bushing mounting system. Just an FYI.
The only piece that should be torqued at ride-height regardless, is the UCA to the diff, assuming the stock rubber bushing is being used.

Anyone running just the relocation brackets? I'm lowering my car this weekend and would like to correct the LCA angle but have never experienced any wheel hop on my current stock suspension.
Stock LCA's won't work with FRPP brackets. I suspect they won't work with most if any.

Are the gt500 laca's the same as the brembo?looks stock and gt500 lca's fit on the whitelines...
I thought the brembos came with the stock gt (black) lca's and only the gt500 came with the fancy silver ones. they have identical shapes.

I think they have the same bushings.
Brembo cars come with the GT500 LCA's.

Believe they're all the same size though so if one works with Whiteline's they should all work. But did you try and mount these up on car yet with stock LCA's?

I believe the issue is that they wont fit in the upper holes on other brackets, because of the size of the stock arm.
I have whiteline stuff and I like it. Will be adding the UCA once I do the driveshaft as im lowered on h and r ss springs
agree. I mocked up the whitelines on the car / stuck my old stock lca's in them (same size as gt500's) and they appear to fit. the 3 inches between the holes is greater than the radius of the lca. we'll know for sure this weekend.

I would like to know if this works out.
easy install. really impressed with the whiteline fitment and plenty of space for the gt500 lca's. car definitely handles better coming out of turns.
Are the relocation brackets really going to be necessary for me... I just ordered from Hypermotive Performance as well.. great experience. Here's what I ordered:
- Hotchkis lowering springs
- Steeda HD strut mounts
- Koni's Yellow shocks/struts
- Whiteline panhard bar & brace
- Whiteline adjustable LCA's
