CHE vs BMR relo brackets

[Clipboard]

A few weeks ago i attempted to install the CHE brackets. When i bought them it was my understanding they were a "bolt-in" application. Turned out that, because of manufacturing variables, there could be some needed enlarging of the bolt holes. which resulted in this kind of mayhem

That is the driver side that bent because of my screw up from alot of frustration!
this is the passenger side that i was able to get on with a few hours of grinding and testing. (i was scared to grind out to much that why it took me so long)

after all this i said screw it and ordered some BMR relocation brackets because from what i read they are a "true bolt in" design.
Recieved them yesterday along with some LCA's and a panhard bar. WENT IN LIKE A CHARM JUST LIKE IT SHOULD i think anyways.

Alot of people run the CHE's with alot of success..i just think i got a bad set. you can see how beefy both brackets are

Love my BMR's…Perfect fit and no issues with rear thrust angle being out of whack.

BMR or whiteline all the way.

Also worth noting the CHE's are not "adjustable"; they have only a single LCA mount point compared to the BMR's three.

That said I got a set of the CHE's for Christmas and they look like a great, stout part. Will be attempting the install this weekend. Hopefully without too much grinding.

I had the same experience. First ordered CHE brackets cause they looked alot beefier/stronger and also had the most ground clearance, but had a hell of a time installing them. I also had to grind the passenger side bolt holes. Then I got paranoid and decided to replace them with Whiteline brackets. They bolted right in.

A lot of parts that say bolt on always need a little adjusting. Nothing new been goin on for years. Glad the bmr's worked I'm going to order them myself.

FWIW I installed my CHE brackets without issues.

BMR are fantastic. They even fit with a swaybar relocation for when you want to run 15" rims. (CHE look like they need some grinding) Highly recommend BMR! (And Kelly!)

My bmr stuff went right, clearance was spot on.
