optimal relocation?
 

got the intrax springs and of course the wheel hop has commenced to complete annoyance.. so my question is how much should i drop the rear lca mount.. i can fab just about anything so that isnt a problem.. i am about to put sfc, lca, phb and poly bushings in but i was just wondering waht the BEST amount to drop the lca brackets is.. any help would be appreciated..

Re: optimal relocation?
 

The rear of the LCA needs to be just slightly lower than the front when the car is sitting level on the suspension.

Re: optimal relocation?
 

so no one has any actual measurements???

Re: optimal relocation?
 

There are no actual measurements because it depends upon how low your particular sits. Call it 1/8-1/2" for street use.

Re: optimal relocation?
 

1/2"??? lol.. the other guy says even or below the front mount.. in my case its gonna have to be more like 4 or 5 inches to be even or even close to level.. yeah thats right i did say inches.. just a stock suspension with intrax springs.. supposedly a 2" drop..

Re: optimal relocation?
 

Go back and read...............that other guy was me too. 1/2" BELOW THE FRONT.

Re: optimal relocation?
 

dammit im a moron.. sorry bro.. does the 4to5 inches seem abnormally low?

Re: optimal relocation?
 

It will actually depend on what you want to use the car for. If it's more for taking turns, than it needs to be level, or the front slightly lower than the rear. If ot's strait line traction you're looking for, then you want the rear slightly lower than the front.

I would recommend some rod-ened lower control arms to get rid of the hop. You can get away with poly bushings there if it's for drag purposes.

Re: optimal relocation?
 

it is for traction purposes.. no rod ends for me.. they just wont live with the amount of driving i do.. i plan on using dalron for bushings.. thanks for the help guys..

Re: optimal relocation?
 

That's why you use high quality rod ends.

Re: optimal relocation?
 

well from what ive seen you still only get maybe 10k miles out of a set.. for a daily driver i think the dalron will work find..

Re: optimal relocation?
 

I would say 10k is a pretty low number for high-quality rod ends, especially with the types of loads they see in a LCA. To each their own.:)

Re: optimal relocation?
 

which brand do you reccomend?

Re: optimal relocation?
 

THESE, if you want the best. :)
