- Wanted to try these supposedly bolt in lower relocation brackets but they do not fit my 86 at all, they are not bent correctly or something, so they are going back to Summit! Bolt holes just don't line up!
I had high hopes because their upper torque box reinforcement brackets fit very well
Also had to send back the UPR anti roll as that model will not fit with the BMR upper reinforcement brackets, that was my fault for not double checking under my car before ordering
Total fail this weekend! I guess I will move on to the nitrous system conversion kit, we still have 2 weeks until next TNT.
My only gripe is paying return shipping on the parts that do not fit (BMR , not UPR) I would keep it if it fit
That sucks! You’ll get it dialed in soon! 🇺🇸💪🏼
for sure thanks JD!
I had different anti-squat brackets on my 86 when I last raced it 6 years ago. I went to new control arms, which are really good, and didn't use the brackets...now the does not hook up anywhere as good as it once did. I will be putting them back on once I get it out next year (we now have snow, so my Foxbody season is over). Anyways, I hope you find a substitute, as they worked great for me. Great content!👍
do you know what brackets you have?
@@vrm86gt mine were built by Western Motorsports in Calgary Alberta probably over 20 years ago. They also sold their own rear contol arms with ajustable rear spring hight. Both are discontinued. With my new Maximum Motorsports control arms and the brackets, the back of my car sits too low. Maximum Motorsports makes a straight arm with ajustable rear spring height, but only for the Thunderbird. My new arms are the ones with the bend in the middle...and TBird arms are a bit too long. I'll get it sorted out in the spring...but the car will definitely be getting the brackets back on or something similar to reestablish the correct contol arm geometry.
@@306foxbody1 gotcha, i think im going to get some weld in brackets
DANG THAT SUCKS!!!!! On a brighter note I ordered the alternator bracket that you have. Hope you get this mess straightened out.
cool! I think you will like it!
Are you currently running relocated upper and lower control arms?
relocated uppers (baselinse susupension) lowers are stock location
I got these on mine fit great besides the bigger bolts for heim joints had to drill bushing
I had to return them, couldn't make them fit!
you have a baseline uppers maybe try the baseline rear anti roll bar
I did check the baseline unit and it may have worked with the BMR uppers but I went with the UPR pro street under axle ARB it will definitely fit!
Damn, that adjustment knob broke. Were you just turning them by hand?
no, I accidentally was tightening the top nut without the bottom bolt in and the shock spun and hit the bracket, it was my fault.
well that blows a phat one, sending that stuff back can be a big pain in the arse especially when its not your fault a defective parts. You would think as much as that stuff cost they could at least do a lil Q.C. work to prevent this kind of situation. O well its what we half to go thru to be able to enjoy our hobby is buy gadgets for our toys 🤣 Im doing a few things to beans to see if I can get those weak hp numbers I have up a lil more 🤣 Im waiting on some prostars (summit brand🤣) to come in so that i can order some slicks then maybe get it to the track and see if I can run a 10 with it. I belive it can with good tires . i mean if it cant thats a lil slow for the eighth 😆 and Ill need to figure it out 🤣
your going to love making some passes on slicks!
yeah I cant wait to see how they feel and hook up , All ive ever ran was street tires which probally feels the same as slicks on a oily track 🤣
Turn them around
they are already boxed up to go back to Summit
Yeah, that sucks.
yeah man, something is wrong with them
U have to drill it 1/2
thanks man, I ended up sending them back.
That's frustrating...
for real
