Re: LCA relocation

You can find them at just about any of the sponsors sites like www.thunderracing.com or www.tbyrnemotorsports.com. BMR is probably the most widely recognized brand name but there are others that make them as well. Bolt-on and weld on versions are available. They are primarily for lowered cars as they reposition the rear end of the LCA. When the car is lowered the angles change and these are sometimes needed to bring them back to where they should be. Without them some people experience traction and wheel hop problems.

Re: LCA relocation

to my understanding if your car isn't dropped you dont need them.

Re: LCA relocation

Repositions your instant center by lowering your control arm angle for increased traction and anti-squat. Lowers rear of control arm up to 3". This product is a must for lowered vehicles to correct your suspension geometry. Lowering your vehicle alters the LCA angle putting the rear of the LCA higher than the front of the LCA, this causes massive wheel hop and traction loss.

NON-LOWERED vehicles will also see a dramatic increase in traction by lowering the rearward angle of the LCA with our relocation brackets. The lower mount holes are placed in the arc pattern of the OEM length LCA. Therefore allowing a non-lowered F-Body to drop the rear LCA angle and NOT require a longer than OEM LCA. All geometry is correctly maintained. The anti-squat performance is providing most users with a full .10 or better 60' reduction!

Brackets are Laser-Cut from 3/16" cold rolled steel using state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technology for precision tolerances. Must be welded into place. Hardware is included. Since the brackets must be welded in place, we ship them bare. Weld in LCA Relocation Brackets are the only SAFE and EFFECTIVE way to install them.

Note: For installation on stock rear or Strange Engineering 12 bolt rear. If you have a Moser Engineering 12 bolt or Ford 9" rear, use our Part # 210-M relocation brackets.

Re: LCA relocation

My car is slight above stock ride height with the Eibach Drag Launch springs in the back. The Spohn LCA relocation brackets were the final piece in eliminating wheel hop. I think the more HP you put to the pavement, the more you are going to need the LCA relocation brackets, whether your car is stock ride height, or lowered.
