lower control arm relocation brackets will probably help, but sticky tires is the only way

"What if I moved the control arms onto the lower setting?"

You want the rear of the LCAs to be as low as possible. That's the idea with the relocators.

I have the relocation brackets already. What if I moved the control arms onto the lower setting?

Two words ET STREETS!!!!

Alot of guys have gone 11.50's on stock susp.
For sure u can gain a tenth or two on a fast car by tweeking the susp. but u wont get 5 tenths from playing with the susp.
