I want a CHE brace, but it won't work with BMR Relo brackets. And BMR hasn't made anything to compete with the CHE one. The CHE bracket works with their Relo brackets, but Im not gonna buy new brackets just to make there brace work

I think my 3 point attack will do the job. Fill in puddle weld spots like 13 GT500, weld tubes to diff, and put on the brace arms from UPR

I had the same problem. I bought a used CHE brace for my Bullitt (couldn't pass up the price) and it didn't work with my BMR relo brackets.

I hope BMR makes something like this in the near future. I'd like to put this piece on my car.

I thought about buying one and "making" it work with a blade and a welder. But I just can't justify spending money on something just to hack it up.

BMR, why no brace!!! :(

We've had those braces out for a long time. We haven't had any tubes move with those braces attached.

Well then, I shall put them to the test. lol

To late...LOL. Mine is on the way. I am having the rear end dropped and painted. They also put it in a jig to check for true and weld. Overkill probably, but my car, my way.

Damn it! Anyone else? I did not realize the BMR brackets would interfere.

Any other options???

You can always buy CHE brackets and sell the BMR ones. lol. BMR needs to step up and make a damn brace.

Well they don't even get near the relocation brackets so I would assume so.
Had to cancel my CHE brace purchase as well :(

I don't really want to weld anything but if nothing comes out in a couple months then I guess I go with those links.

I am really bummed out. My problem with welding the UPR tabs onto the tubes is that I think the weak point will be the welds. I don't know any welder I would trust enough to do it right without constant worry of whether they will hold or not, and if I did, I would just have him weld the tubes.

I may just switch to the CHE relocation brackets, I've never had any of their products let me down yet. Any know approximately how low the CHE brackets drop the control arms? I am using the bottom hole in the BMR brackets right now and wouldn't go much higher to be honest.

C'mon BMR.........:crazy:

The CHE brackets don't have the damper bolt mounting point.
So if you go that route get them welded.
