Anyways... i went to the track after the QA1s and got some wheel hop that i never got before beucase of the LCA install with stock suspension. Can just a few passes ruin the tranny mount? How will you know? I'm getting a weird noise but not all of the time and this was my first guess on to what it was and then you mentioned it. Any suggestions. Its like in and out of gear, sometimes while in gear. And its not a constent sound. Sounds like something is rubbing? I thought at first it was exhaust clamps on the driveshaft but that should happen anytime i'm moving. Plus i got those welded up but the sound is still there.
Thanks
Relocating the rear lower control arms on a lowered car will correct the suspension geometry. The LCA's should be level or slightly low in the rear. When the rear of the LCA's are lower, they will create a small downward force on the rear end upon acceleration, and give you more traction.
