Thumbs up installed some LCA relo brackets

I bought some LCA relo brackets on eBay...i taped over the company didnt know if i would be in trouble for showing their name...nevertheless...product is AMAZING and worth every cent...they are bolt in...as I didnt wanna have to weld..

install was a lil tricky but i got it...

car is lowered 1.25" all around..and the LCA angle was all off, they went up towards the back of the car...installed these, leveled em right out..NIGHT AND DAY...as soon as I sat in the car it felt stiffer in the rear..like it is supposed to...and when I hit it coming outta first it hooks..no more hop...no more squatty boggy feeling...just get up and GO!
I recommend this mod to ANY LOWERED CAR WITH AFTERMARKET LCA's!!!

here are some pics..

Would there be any advantage to these on a stock ride height car?

YES! A huge advantage. The tires spin (viewed from the driver side) counter clockwise at the tree. This makes the axle assembly spin clockwise loading the LCAs in tension. The LCAs are nearly level stock so they simply push forward. Dropping the rear of them down makes them push forward AND up some. The upward push will result in a downward push (Newton's III Law) on the rear tires allowing more traction.

Simple and a very affective way to reduce wheel hop and increase traction.

I have seen that brand too, but not on e-bay. My buddy got a set of tubular SFC from the same manufacture.

Mine look the same, being I'm on stock springs but put the stock LCA in the lowest hole on my BMR relo brackets. Only problem I'm having is the TA was set to -2 when I was lowered -1.5", now it's off since I'm at stock height so I get vibrations over 85mph. I'm awaiting springs, thus why I haven't corrected it all yet.

However you are correct, it really hooks now!!
