I know it's probably a newb question and all but I have my car finally in 12s at the strip and am thinking about lowering it for that more race car l00k lol well I know I will probably scrape everywhere but.....

will lowering do anything for me at the track?! I mean it makes sense it would seeing as how it would make it more aerodynamic and such....any ideas?!

Lowering will do nothing for you at the track. It might jus' hurt your 60' ft times actually. For the track, longer/softer springs are ideal.

really? man I would have thought lowering it would lower drag and increase the 60' by a lil plus be better and weight transfer =/

There good up to a certain point.... You start pulling hard 60's and your going to start flexing and bending stock stuff.

I was pulling 1.5's before I actually switched... If you have extra money then why not upgrade, LCA's are pretty cheap.

lca's were my first suspension mod. well worth it. relocation brackets are a must if you lower it.

Hello
The relocation brackets are a must for a lowered vehicle if you want any type of traction performance. Seeing how the allow you to adjust the lower control arm so that it is more parallel with the surface. Therefore eliminating a lot of wheel hop issues and increasing your traction performance. Like mentioned above stock LCA's will work but to a certain extent before the start to flex and that's if the bushings are not bad all ready...Below is a link to show you what UMI Performance has too offer!
