Are LCAs worth it?

Im having troubles launching my car at the track. I dont know much about suspension modification, but will they help my launch/traction? I already have Nitto DRs and have been bracket racing for 4 years now. So how much of an improvement do they offer? I talked to a guy at the track that said he took his stock ones and welded a piece of metal down one side and over the top and it helped a lot. So is it worth it?

Do the LCAs and an Adjustable Panhard Rod (Non-adjustable if you dont plan to lower your car) at the same time.

HUGE traction improvement! Definitely worth every penny...

Sounds good, what are the best ones to buy? Who has the best prices?

A panhard rod would be more for autocross racing and cornering, so u really dont need it for drag racing.

I would recommend a nice set of lower control arms and relocation brackets. check out brands like BMR and Sphoon.

If u really want some traction, i would look into getting an extreme torque arm and some subframe connectors.

With these four mods along with ur nittos, i could see u easily cutting 1.6-1.8 60 foot times.
