Does anyone have pictures of the stock lower control arms cut and welded to clear 15" wheels? And do any aftermarket lca that work with a 15" wheel still use the stock strut or do you have to convert to coilovers?

you also need a different spindle with the different LCA, BMR has a kit for this

MoeIv · 03-08-2016, 01:31 PM

Carlyle racing has a kit aswell

bct10985 · 03-08-2016, 01:41 PM

The carlyle kit says nothing about a spindle

BMR Sales · 03-08-2016, 03:12 PM

For a 15" Conversion, you need two of our Kits

#1 DRP007 Has Lower Control Arms, Trailing Arms, Coilover Conversion Kit and Strange Coilovers

I know what is needed for the bmr kit. Im trying to avoid paying $3500 though. The carlyle kit is less than half that

CobraR · 03-08-2016, 04:05 PM

The BMR spindle is to use the BMR smaller brake kit.

62nalide · 03-08-2016, 04:40 PM

BMR stuff is nice but waaaaaaaaaay to much $$$
Plus I will never use a BMR product again.

bct10985 · 03-08-2016, 08:34 PM

Ok carlyle said if i already have bmr trailing arms all i need is the lca and brake kit.

Carlyle makes a nice package for 15in conversions....Im eventually going 15s as well.

Martin turned me onto a set of used MC LCA's for sale (thx again buddy), so I have those. I just need to mill some V6 brakes or get MC's SSBC brake it. 15's this year.

bct10985 · 03-10-2016, 09:24 PM

Just bought the carlyle kit and some 15" weld rts from him. He has the best price on welds by the way.
