Question LCA relocation brackets?

Do they bring the geometry of the suspension back to working within factory specs on a lowered car or do they only come close to. I'm considering lowering my car but dont want to lose too much of it's ability to launch at the track. Any and all opinions and comments welcome.

Re: LCA relocation brackets?

Most brackets have 2 settings. A 2" drop and a 3" drop. So if you're lowered 2" you could use the top hole to get back to stock, or the bottom hole to put some angle on the LCA to prevent wheel hop and get nice launches.

Re: LCA relocation brackets?

using the bottom hole will only move your instant center closer to the rear and cause the car to want to wheelie more, actually hurting your 60' times.
