Did you guys feel any difference in traction after the install? I bought the Lakewood, and felt no difference at all. Are they mainly just for wheel hop, as I figured it would help prevent tire spin. Would relocation brackets help? Just wanted to know if anyone else had any noticeable gains.

 

Anyone?

 

when i went with my lakewoods, i went from absolutely blasting the tires off at 30mph in first, to just a lil squeal.

 

I added LCA's and a torque arm at the same time. I noticed a little more traction, but the main difference was that I had more control. My car used to jump sidways when I would shift to 2nd really hard. It would also fishtail pretty good even if I had it pointed straight. After my install, it shoots straight as an arrow, unless I coax it sidways with the wheel .

 

Used to have aftermarket LCA's, went back to stock and there isn't really any difference, except lower road noise level with stock. May-be they are useful, when you do drag racing on tracks with really good grip, to avoid wheelhop, but on slippery tracks (like we have here) stock LCA's work as well - I get similar 60-ft times. I have reallocation brackets though.

For purely street driven car aftermarket LCA's are waste of money IMO.
