LCA relocators and Adj. Panhard installed...

I installed both last night. Couldn't drive because of rain. But today I did and let me tell you guys, the car doesn't spin and lose traction like it used to. Before it was all squirrely and would wag from side to side. Now it just kind of squats, smoothly spins and grabs traction. Also, fishtailing is now harder to acheive. So for $200 total, traction is greatly improved.

Now the bad, it's not as wild to drive. I had to be careful before. So the funfactor is greatly reduced. Oh well, if you want traction you have to give up some fun factor.

I can't wait to get to the track and see how much of my 60fts are cut. 2.4 and 2.5 60s suck.

What do you mean not as wild to drive? Im confused.

Any driveability issues with the re-location brackets?
I have mine sitting on the shelf, just need to get them welded up.

Wild meaning, doesn't spin tires as much, doesn't fishtail at will like it felt like it could do. More docile around town, feels down on hp and torque eventhough it's just getting traction.

Driveability falls into the not as wild category. If you are wondering about scraping or anything, no. They are fine. But they are the lowest part of the undercarriage now.

So let me ask the question this way.

Just casually driving around town like going to work or the grocery store and never hammering on it, can you tell any difference no matter how subtle from installing the re-location brackets.

What Bomb said. No major difference. Maybe a little stiffer?
