UMI relocation brackets?

I have these brackets and will probably be installing them next week. They drop the lower control arm further down for improved geometry, so there should be less wheelhop with my MT DR's. Anybody put them in and what were the results? They appear to be a well built product.

make sure u get them welded in...mine were just bolted up and one of them twisted creating a lot of suspension problems. aside from that they seem like a good solid piece.

I went from 1.62 60' times with severe wheel hop to 1.49 60' times and pulling the wheels 12" in the air.

Did you install the brackets to specifically limit wheel hop? Did it work? Did you use the lower or middle bolt holes on the bracket? Thanks for your help.

always use the lowest holes regardless of your ride hieght. the lower those control arms are in the rear, the better. i dropped my 60 ft a little over .1.

I used the bottom hole. I got them specifically to eliminate wheel hop. My car is lowered 1" as well. Wheel hop wiped put the ring gear in my rear and broke the foward sprag in my tranny.
