Come on out Sunday. Seriously, I just got some BMR lower control arm relo brackets. I'm gonna try to get it to hit out of the hole a little harder. Probably won't do shit. So far I fucking hate these things...

I'd like to, but I'm not really up for it. The only reason I'm going tomorrow morning to get my shirts. Otherwise I'd stay locked away in the house.

I will. They make the rear of the car feel kinda squirrely.

I read on SVTP about some people having some serious issues with those after some miles. Putting the rear axle out of place and tearing metal. I will see if I can find you a link.

I think the ripping apart was an issue with the earlier design. They only mounted using two holes and there is a lot of leverage working against them. The ones I have are mounted using three holes so I'm not terribly concerned with tearing up the bracket.
But yes, I do have an issue with the axle position as well. The passenger-side wheel is about 3/8" too far back (107" wheelbase on the driver side, and 107 3/8" on the pass side). The BMR tech guy told me to loosen everything up and see if it's just an issue with compounding tolerances, and I think it might be. Still a little unnerving especially with how funny the car feels at speed.
