Default People with lca's/lca relocation brackets come in!

Soo after searching I have seen alot of threads where people got better traction from there lca relocation brackets, but in a few I seen where somebody took thers off because they thought they made it worse and one that didn't seem to gain much. So those of you out there post up your before and after results plz! Did the lca relocation brackets help you hook? What gains in 60 fts did you get? I will also include a poll

Did you get a better 60ft? Did you have a traction problem before you put them on and did it help traction?

I've done fine without relocation brackets. I'm lowered 1" and run non-adjustable lcas with a Moser 12 bolt running 315s.

You can go with any of these.

Ive got both - SLP boxed/poly LCA and UMI brackets. Honestly I did em b/c I lowered my car 2" and thought the geometry needed correcting... after, I notice the rear tires certainly plant harder and the rear doesnt kick out nearly as much as it used to

Mine didn't help much but I was greatly over-powering the tires. Now with better tires my car hooks. Do the relo brackets help that? Probably so. Meaning same track, same day, I'm cutting better 60fts then other f-bodies that have more tire and more power. So I must be doing something right.

Every car will generally want something different depending on quite a few variables such as track condition, what kind of tires your using, how much power your are making, what kind of transmission you have, the ride height of the car, and others. I try to get people to play with the adjustment on the relocation bracket that way they can find out what their car reall wants.

I've had them on for many years and think they have deteriorated.
I did have my best 60 with them but it was not dramatic maybe .05 better
on the average.

I don't remember if the LCA's helped my 60ft or not. But the relocation brackets made my 60' more consistent. Before i had a best of 1.62 but it would vary from 1.62-1.68. Last time at the track with the relo brackets it was a more consistent 1.61-1.62.
