Just finished install relocation brackets and some new LCAs. I had some old skool BMR boxed LCAs with poly-poly ends. Just upgraded to the J&M race LCAs with spherical bearing on one side and their "3-piece" ball socket thing on the other end.

I can definitely tell it's getting more traction with the relo brackets. Not just off the line, but on the highway to pass. Maybe it's in my head (nothing else in there), but did feel like the car "digs" in a little more now. I can still chirp the tires from a standstill, but that's probably from the 3.73s and these tires. Probably going back to GS-D3 or try the Bridgestone RE050 Pole Position.

The biggest fix is that it changed the angle of the LCAs. I have stock springs, but this 11 year old car is "sagging" in the back...dropped about an inch. Before the brackets, the axle side of the LCA was higher then the chassis side. Now it's just like it should be....axle side slightly lower then chassis side.

As for the spherical bearing...that's a cool feature to have. Going into corners faster now is MUCH, MUCH smoother. Before it's more of a waiting for the rear to kick around during a hard corner, playing with the throttle. I got used to driving that way, but now I have to "relearn" to drive with the rear NOT kicking around. Need to hit a few corners hard after work to get used to it.

 

Glad to hear there is an improvement.
