They helped my car out quite a bit. I was cutting 1.46-1.48 60's on average before I added then. Never had a problem hooking but I added them for the hell of it. I keep them set at the lowest/steepest angle and have been cutting 1.40-1.42 60's average now.

I would recommend them, easy mod to do and after install you have 3 different LCA angles to play with.

Well worth it no doubt. It also helps to eliminate wheel hop which can destroy a rearend in the blink of an eye. It's an easy and effective mod that I think is under rated.

Good luck to you!

Actually I do run them on my car. I just recently installed them though. I run the BMR bolt-in brackets and I tacked them in once I had them loaded and locked in. I set them at the lowest (most angle) setting. I wanted the most traction possible and they definitely provide that. It was very noticable. The first time out the wife pulled a 1.47 in full street trim on ET streets when traction on those would have been questionable. You just can't win a race if you are spinning.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

i strongly recomend gettign weld ins. it is a bit mroe work than the bolt ins, but the brackets are basically holding over 1000lbs of force each in a modded car that hooks good(figure a 60ft in the 1.6's)

later
