Fast Orange

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..

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

Fast Orange

so no one has any actual measurements???

AL SS590 M6

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

Fast Orange

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..

AL SS590 M6

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

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

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.

Fast Orange

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..

snorkelface

That's why you use high quality rod ends.

Fast Orange

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..

snorkelface

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.

Fast Orange

which brand do you reccomend?

snorkelface

THESE, if you want the best.

Fast Orange

makes sense.. aprecciate the help..
