Default Rear control arms

I'm looking to buy some rear control arms for my car since it is lowered and doesn't hook up well at all. Which relocation bracket and rear control arms would you recommend for me? I just need my car to not wheel hop and hook up in a straight line. Thanks

any of the brands like UMI or BMR or Spohn would be great. they all make about the same product as far as lca's go. also look into a torque arm, your driveline angle could be off a bit making it worse. an adjustable torque arm can correct this.

Torque arms are a little out of my price range right now.

Will the relocation brackets and a set of non-adjustable lca's from any of those three manufacturers eliminate the wheel hop I get and improve traction? Or do you suggest the adjustable ones?

if your car is lowered the relocation brackets will definitely help with the wheelhop.

I bought UMI adj's plainly for the fact that they were spherical rod ends...only way to get the rod ended LCA's is for them to be adjustable.

np, just when you install them make sure you know they are cross threaded on each side, and to put some loctite on them....

One more question. What length should I set the lca's for when I install them?

Here are a few items I would recommend-

Control Arms-

www.umiperformance.com/2015
www.umiperformance.com/2016

Relocation Brackets

www.umiperformance.com/2012

The control arms you will install at the factory length, there is no need to adjust them unless you are running a large tire or installing a after market rear end. When we ship a adjustable item it comes pre-set to the factory length.

If I can help anymore please ask. Thank you!

Thanks a lot. I shouldn't have any problem running a 315 at factory length should I?
