so im going to get new shocks for the rear for shure becouse it feels bouncy and started riding harder. the reply to my question said to get lower control arm brackets because im lowered. the control ams that i have now look like they are boxed in ther not stamped so they look strong. any idea's?????????

 

what exactly are you asking?

 

well im asking if i need new control arms and brackets or just the brackets.

 

LCAs are a cheap and easily installed investment. Most any aftermarket LCA will be better than the crappy stamped pieces that came from the factory...

 

well i looked at a few 02 firebirds 1 formula 1 ramair ta and the lca's where stamped and mine are square tubing so there are aftermarket. [i wasent shure if they where or not].
so i need the lca brackets? other members say that i need them because im lowered.will they change ride hight at all?
thanks for the help.

 

They won't change your ride height, but will help correct the suspension geometry that was screwed up when you lowered your car.

 

If you are lowered relocation brackets will help with traction and wheel hop on lowered cars, but you also need an adjustable panrod so you can center the rear, because you lowered the rear isn't aligned if you don't have an adjustable panrod.

 

I dont believe that they are stock, and they defintly wont change your ride height.

Why would you need new LCA's to correct the suspension if nothing is wrong with the old ones?

 

I don't think you need lca.

 

not lower control arms, but lower control arm relocation brackets

 

Do you have an adjustable panrod? the one behind the differential.

 

well i have aftermarket lca's. i am going to get the relocation brackets and a adjustable panard bar. what brand?????????????

p.s. will it help me hook up better?????

thanks very much guys

 

All those parts will help you hook better. I can only recommend the bolt on relocation brackets, some say go with weld on, my bolt ons are solid and are very easy to install and the are bmr.

I installed poly bushing instead of aftermarkt lca but I still ended up paying 100 bucks total, 50 for polys and 50 to take to a shop to remove the stock bushings and install the polys. I have read that some recommend going with a lca that has one rod end and one poly bushing so the lca doesn't bind but the rod lca can be a bit noisy some say not much. Im sure someone can give some more advise to what brand to go with.
