SFC and LCA's
 
I just put these two items on my car along with some underdrive pulleys. I noticed that the car is alot more rigid. But my question is will they help the car at the track or was were they just a waste of money? I guess i wont know though until i go see right. Just trying to see if anyone else noticed a difference.

They both help with "feel". I don't believe SFCs will help at the track until you get to some crazy power levels and then only a tad. LCAs might actually help a tiny bit off the line. Good upgrades, though, to help the car stay solid as the power grows.

Sounds good i guess ill find out when i take it to the track on the 20th I did notice that the car doesnt walk around as much with the SFC's when i go over the bumps. Hope fully it wil be enough to get me my 11 sec time slip im almost there LOL.

The LCA's, SFC's, relocation brackets, and torque arm made a huge difference for me. My car dead hooks on nittos on the street. Mine is only a bolton car though.

The LCAs can keep your 10-bolt lasting longer by possibly reducing wheelhop. Wheelhop will kill your stock rear fast.

The SFCs will keep your car from becoming a rattle trap and can also help your suspension work harder on the launch. Instead of your car twisting and buckling, your suspension will now be allowed to work.

You can't go wrong with the SFCs, and the LCAs were also a good idea. LCA-relocation brackets will make a big difference too in terms of straight-line traction. Do you have those installed?

I did not get relocation brackets cuz i heard you only need them if you car is lowered to correct pinion angle. I could be wrong, how hard are they to install?

they are a must for lowered and optional for not lowered. I would go with them because i have heard they help a ton as well. Add on to the fact that they are inexpensive and if you get bolt ons are an easy install.

Don't think you stated it, but wanted to poing out to those who may have not realized, nodarb481 isn't talking about "SFC and LCA's" he's talking about lower control arm relocation brackets.
