Are there any real diffrences between these from BMR or UMI? How many of you guys noticed a nice difference?

I bought a set of the Spohn LCARs. Traction is much better, but it really kills the fun factor. But traction wins races, not wheel spin. For $60, they are a huge bargain. Get them and you won't be dissapointed. Install was like 5 minutes each side.

Relocation brackets are one of the best and cheapest suspension mods you can do. They completely reverse the rear suspension geometry (raise versus squat).

A good idea even on a light bolt-on car?

Yeah, right now the axle side of the rear control arm is higher than the body side. Not good. Wouldn't that completely eliminate instant center? With it like this the control arms and the T/A don't even run parralel, they run away from each other, does this make sense?

It makes your instant center behind the car. Not good at all.

Yep, relos with some poly bushing in my home boxed LCAs got me down to the low 1.6- high 1.5 sixty foots before adding enough power to make the set up unreliable.

I'm getting the Bolt ins from UMI shortly. I'm itching to do it but I've got to pay down some other things to keep the wifey happy

The LCA relocation bracket welds or bolts to the stock LCA mount on your rear axle assembly. It allows you to lower the axle end of the LCA relative to the body end.

The photo posted above shows the bracket. This is the Spohn version (black rectangular bracket that the end of the LCA is bolted to):
