Control Arm Relocation Bracket Set up? I have a stock ride height car in the back, what setting would I want for best traction on these brackets? stock location, middle or all the way down? Or do I just get rid of them? This is for a low to mid 10 sec car. Thanks

they are not in the stock location, they are on the last setting on the brackets. It hooks ok, just thought I could improve traction, by moving them. 275/50/25 MT Drag Radials

Heres a opinion What we have experienced when installing the lower control arm relocation brackets is you get the best results traction wise using the lowest hole. You say this set-up is on a mid 10 second car? What all modifications do you have done to the suspension? Leave me know.
Thanks Again,
Brad

What kind of air pressure are you running in the drag radials?
These and several other factors are what's going to determine ultimately how well the car works......

Suspension wise I have, QA1 R Series up front w/ 275 springs, lower control arms, braced torque arm, lca relocation kit, no front sway bar, weak rear springs. Thats about it, I have the control arms at the lowest settings now and just bought a adjustable torque arm and 300lb front springs. I didnt have a huge traction problem, I thought I could improve my traction by moving the control arms to a different setting on the brackets.

Here a few ideas! Suspension wise I have, QA1 R Series up front w/ 275 springs, lower control arms, braced torque arm, lca relocation kit, no front sway bar, weak rear springs. Thats about it, I have the control arms at the lowest settings now and just bought a adjustable torque arm and 300lb front springs. I didnt have a huge traction problem, I thought I could improve my traction by moving the control arms to a different setting on the brackets.
Getting back to the not hocking problem! Is that on the street or at the track what are you 60ft times. I see that you got a different spring rate for the front to try to transfer weight to the rear. The thing about it is the problem can be from anything like having to fine tune you suspension or what type of tire pressure you are running? What I have experienced is about 20lbs works well for me and allows me to leave hard and lets the car hook. Those are just a few more suggestions. If you have any other questions I will be glad to help!
Thanks Again,
Brad

What's a weak rear spring? Does the car squat when it launches?
You do not want the rear to squat AT ALL during the launch......

Thanks for the help Lee. The different spring weight on the qa1;s wasn't for traction purposes, I got tired of repairing the shocks when the blew from pot holes and such. To soft for driving the street. More because the weight up front.
