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.
