LCA and relocation brackets or a torque arm. I only have enough for one or the other. eventually i will get both, but which will help more with my 60ft. for the meantime.
I have a best of 12.9/2.0 60ft (street tires)
I want to get under 2.0 60ft. with street tires.

relocation brackets made a big difference for me.
killed about 75% of my a4 wheelspin during the 1-2 shift.

my car is lowered and i never changed the torque arm, though.

When I put on my control arms they helped alot, but I also did subframe connectors with them. Now I have the T/A and will see if it helps any this weekend.

I recommend to start with the control arms and relocation brackets, they are the most inexpensive well working traction devises you can purchase. We can set you up with both for $199

Let me know if you have any questions and I am glad to help.

Thank you!
Ryan

I would recommend going with a set of bolt-on relocation brackets (CAB002) and lower control arms(TCA001) both of which I currently have on sale here-

http://www.bmrfabrication.com/taxrefundsale.htm

They are going to give you the most "bang for the buck" especially at $179.90 for both parts If you have any other questions regarding our products or the SALE please feel free to ask....
