I have the strange front brakes, so in my case I am thinking all I would need is some Bogarts without that 1 inch spacer that is integrated into the wheel. I didn't see any clearance issues if the wheels were pulled in an inch.

Thats a good option. I wonder if Bogart could just mill some of the spacer off for you

Thanks for doing that, I think I will be ordering them very soon. If the a-arms pull the wheels in 7/8" like I was told from BMR and I do this, the wheels will be tucked under the fender quite nicely.

Let me know how it turns out. The adjustable arms are 9.6lbs per pair lighter than stock.

I am going to post up the before and after pics of the setup, as far as weight savings, I already have the non adjustable a-arms.

Yeah, I just put the non-adjustable BMRs on to offsite the additional weight of the C&L manifold, and given how the fronts stick out, I'm likely to sell the non-adjustables and get the adjustables too.

By the way, I needed an alignment after the a-arm install, and even with a modest one inch drop, now need caster/camber plates. So I figure it's time to get the overall BMR coilover kit for the front this spring as well....

Tracking number shows wednesday so I am hoping I will get a chance to install them Thursday. I won't get it aligned yet since I am waiting for my CJ springs to arrive from one member here and a BMR anti roll bar from another member here, that I'm not sure what is going on with. Yeah I know the anti roll bar won't fuck with an alignment but I want it all done before I get it out of the garage.

Here is a pic with the non adjustable arms and the holeshots, thought I better take it before i forget to when the other arms come. I had to take a pic of the intake while I was out there, looks good but have a few things left to do such as the catch can but I need to move the battery.

I got my parts from Mustard today, I will be happy to do business with him again. On to the install, ran into some problems due to the ignorant fucker that installed my kmember and a-arms. When the shop installed the arms, the rack must not have been bolted up yet so the bolt went in from the from instead of the back. I couldn't get the bolt out without unbolting the rack so I decided to cut it and go buy one.

Yeah, I should have made sure I could get one first lol. I checked in town and noone had them so I had them order it and with the holidays, they said it will probably be next Wednesday. Needless to say, I should have checked into that first. Oh, almost forgot, the fucker that installed the a-arms shouldn't be working on anything. It looks like he took a 2lb hammer to the end of the arm near the ball joint trying to get it to line up. How fucking hard is it to install an a-arm and if he had to beat on it for some fucking reason, use a soft face hammer. Sorry for the rant, they will never touch my car again.

As of now, my car doesn't see the track at all. Just a DD, but I may eventually feel the urge to see the track again, maybe. So, going off that info, I'd assume the non-adjustable a-arms would be perfectly fine for my application??
