Default What will these do for me?

Bolt in LCA relocation brackets.

N/A Tubular LCA's - are adjustables worth it yet?

Torque arm relocation bracket

Everything else is stock - torque arm, sway bars, shocks, springs with 120k miles on it.



Just wondering if this is a good starting point. Trying to get better launches for cheap. Ive read threads but i just dont know what to do! I have nitto 555r's that im gonna finish burning through befor some ET streets.

If anyone has any of these parts used PM me, I also posted a thread in the Wanted section.

If you've got a stock 10-bolt then non-adjustables should be fine.

If you plan on changing to an aftermarket rear go with the adjustables. All they do is give you the option of recentering the wheel in the wheel well. The adjustability doesn't do much in terms of launch capability.

If you're going to do LCAs you should also do LCA relo brackets.

Thanks, thats good info.

Probably going to stay 10bolt even if this one breaks so its good to know i dont need adj. and yes the relo brackets were in the plan.

What about the torque arm relocation bracket? worth it?

Yes the ta relo is worth it. It takes the arm off the tranny tail which can help adjust it and prevent the tailshaftfrom breaking on hard launches

I like the adjustables but that's just me but I also have a aftermarket rear. As said for stock non adjustable is fine.
