Anyone else bend there relocation brackets?

JUST WAS WONDERING HAS ANYONE ELSE BENT THERE RELOCATION BRACKETS?
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME LAST TIME AT THE TRACK, EVERYONE SAYS I ALMOST LIFTED THE FRONT WHEEL. THEN BAM ALMOST INTO THE WALL.

AT THE END OF THE TRACKED GOT OUT TO NOTICE THE PASSANGER TIRE SITTING 3IN FORWARD RUBBING ON THE INNER FENDER OF THE CAR

AND GOT TO SAY BMR WAS VERY HELPFUL CALLED THEM UP SAID I WAS A RETARD AND THEY DISCOUNTED THE HELL OUT OF THE NEXT SET
IT IS WELDED NOW

Man do those pictures bring back memories...I have had this happen 2 times to me and both were on the passenger side. I didn't know to weld them till after I joined this forum.

WELL IT'S A GOOD THING I HAVEN'T BOUGHT THESE YET BECAUSE I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE A RETARD NOW WOULD I? z

yes it happens when you dont weld them...

I have seen bmr bracket's do this even if they are welded.......cutting them off sucks.....seems to be getting pretty popular.....regardless of the brand it almost seems better to avoid the relocation brackets, not worth the trouble and in the op's case have the rear end shift to where body panels get banged up.

If you make over 450 lb/ft and/or are launching the car hard they need to be welded.

hmmm i never bent my CHEs yet, knock on wood*

The CHE's are much heavier construction and, when welded in, nothing can bend. I've had mine for about 3 years, welded in.

Gonna be tough to completely avoid the brackets with my car. It hops like a bitch with just lowers and that's it.

Not real excited about welding the brackets in either in case they ever did need to come off. PITA. Price you pay I guess.

CHE's are beefier I would go with those nothing against BMR but look at the difference...

they are supposed to be welded............

Exactly. Let everyone else keep feeding the troll though...

Looking at the pics it's easy to see why welding should be mandatory. But I also see a way to strengthen the area where the OP's brackets failed and folded like origami.

Adding material along the rear strap, especially if it's fully welded to the bracket and the material is set perpendicular to the original bracket, would increase it's strength a ton.

This looks very familiar. I was using the UPR brackets and they were not welded.





I now have the CHE brackets and they are welded.

I bent my first ones lol. I was winning the race too. I backed off till they caught up, then got back into it FTMFW lol.

Damn now I'm getting scared to put mine in. But I look at it this way, how many are out there installed and working fine compared to bending/breaking plus when it does happen bmr is right there standing behind there products

"their"
