i have money now, i want to lower my Z28, what all would be needed to get the best looking results yet still have no problems hooking? Anyone have a nice setup that won't cost me both arms?

Get anything except Sportlines and relocation brackets (like 70 bucks) for your lower control arms.

If you are only running high 12s, you should have no problem launching with a lowered suspension. Just slapping on a set of good drag tires will work wonders for traction.

Oh yeah, I see you have a growing mod list in your signature, but no torque converter? Quit wasting the small money on those mods and do the converter immediately for best results

The relocation brackets are really recommeded when running a lowered car, You notice a tremendous difference with them installed.

What is the difference? I am about to lower my car.

relo brackets lower the rear attachment point for the LCA's, which restores the stock suspension geometry. The LCA is level with the street normally, instead of pointing down at an angle. You could try lowering your car without installing relo brackets, and if you're not having traction problems, then don't bother. Just keep in mind that lots of people DO have traction issues after lowering, which is why relo brackets are so popular (just ask 2w0s060)

I understand that they change the pinion angle back to stock but do they make the car drive or ride any different.

I`m getting them this week(relocation brackets). Madman is installing them and checking my pinion angle on my TRQ arm. I have real bad wheel hop and still cut 1.6 60fts.

I couldnt beleive the difference with them installed. I tried them both with the car at stk height and it lowered, both had very noticeable improvements. With the car being lowered and the reloc brackets you feel an instance difference in traction and wheel hop reduction. I am not an autocrosser but I also felt improvements in handling as well with the car lowered. Overall this to me is my best traction upgrade, unfortunatly I havent had a chance to get to the track to test the 60' times

whats wrong with the sportlines?

Sportlines are a bigger drop than Pro-Kit, altering
the suspension geometry more and letting the car
pitch less weight transfer on launch, the same old
double whammy taken further than usual.
