The car will work with lowering springs. We use the BMR lca relocation kits http://www.madmanandcoracing.com/sho...spx?itemid=120. This will give your lca a better angle for the suspension to work.

Hello
Its great to hear and thanks for the business! UMI Performance offer 2 versions of lower control arm relocation brackets we offer a weld on version and a bolt on. We designed and manufactured the lower control arm relocation brackets to allow you to adjust the lower control arm to be more parallel with the surface therefore eliminating any wheel hop and increases your traction performance.
Below is a link to show you what all we have to offer.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help!
Thanks
Brad

I cut consistent 1.65 60's with my stock shocks and Sam Strano lowering springs backed by some UMI goodies.

We have several cars with our lowering springs and relocation brackets in the 1.20's for a 60' time. We offer two different designs for the relocation brackets, a weld in version and a bolt on version. Neither style will alter your wheel base or pinion angle. Like Madman stated they will correct your lower control arm geometry and allow you to get the best possible weight transfer. Both styles are formed from 3/16" laser cut cold rolled steel. We have both versions in stock. Give me a call if you have any questions.

Dude you should see a nice improvement just switching from nittos to mickey thompsons. I'm getting ready to do the same thing. My car is lowered an inch and a half and the best 60 I've gotten so far is 1.73 with 245/50/16 nittos and a 2800 vig.

Hello
They do look similar but ours are welded together. And I believe they bend theirs! Either way it is a good quality product and it is the best bang for the $.

Thanks

the main difference between the two is ours are cold rolled formed not welded and they will not alter your wheelbase or pinion angle. Our holes are drilled on an arc so nothing changes except the angle of the control arm. Relocation brackets are one of the best low buck mods that you can do to your suspension. Let me know if you have any other questions.
