LCA relocation bracket question Would adding LCA relocation brackets to a stock height, but not stock suspended car help with traction off the line, without hurting the cars autox performance?
I have the car dialed in for autox, but now with the 400+ hp head and cam setup traction is a problem. Both at the autox start and much more so at the dragstrip. The car has BMR rubber/poly lca's, an LG TA, LG non adj PHR, custom rear springs and shocktec adj bilstein shocks.
Even on drag radils the car lights up the tires for all of 1st and part of 2nd. My best 1/4 mile time is a 12.8 but at 113mph. I would like to launch better , but not F--K up the cars autox ability.

Some people have put the relocation brackets on
stock-height cars and not seen any brake hop
issues, which it the only potential downside.
If you buy some used bolt-ins, try out both sets
of holes, and don't like either (but I bet you'll
like max traction and see no handling / braking
downside) you can sell 'em for about what you
paid.
By way of testing for brake hop / lift, just have
to do some hard-braking tests before and after,
like parking lot 40-0 stand-on-it, and see what
the ABS pedal threshold feels like.
