Default What postion should I attach my LCAs to on the relocation brackets?

I have Eibach Pro-kit. I have the BMR relocation brackets with BMR adj. LCAs. There are 2 positions on the brackets. Should I go with the lower one or higher one? Also , how should I adjust the LCAs to get a good launch?

I have a differnt kit but I use the lowest holes they seem to give the better bite. If you use the lower holes you will get a little more body sway going around corners.

Edit: I feel the need to add that I use my car for drag race only.

Anyone else agree with this? I am also curious.

I used the top positions. It seemed to put the LCAs parallel with the ground. I thought this would be more useful for road racing (cornering) than having them pointed up. If you are drag racing then I would think you want them in the bottom. Anyone else have an idea?

There are three positions on the brackets. the original or top, the middle and the bottom. For a non-lowered car IMO I would go with the middle. Too much angle on the LCAs causes the entire the back end of the car to lift more than the front, which is bad for weight transfer. Its different for a lowered car vs a non-lowered. I first tried the bottom holes on my car and had really bad results. Once I moved to the middle set of holes my 60's improved. The best way to tell is through experimentation. Every car will react differently based upon weight distribution (CG). But that's just my .02 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

You want the bar to be as close to parallel to the ground as possible, but you do want the axle end lower than the frame end. If the axle end is to low you'll hurt your handling.

And if the axle end is lower than the body side, you will have more traction on the launch. At least in my case <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
