Let me know if you get a hold of it. I had it at one time, but have also lost it.

Re: lca relocation brackets

Not in CAD, but I scanned mine in & took measurements.


----------
Hmmmm....


For the 2 holes where the LCA actually mounts, I see I need measurements from the leading edge too.

One dimension measurement is no good. Need X/Y measurements to properly locate them.

EDIT: I measured them & edited my pic.

Re: lca relocation brackets

Im still curious, I know the reason for relocation brackets, but are they needed for a stock ride height car?

Needed? No. Will they help? Yes. Also, as the rear of a car squats, effectively lowering the car on launch, you lose the angle. Having your LCA relocated lower, will allow them to retain an effective level longer, as the car squats on launch.

Re: lca relocation brackets

The reason for LCA relocation brackets is to change the instant center of the system and thus the anti squat %.

Lowered or not, doesn't matter. It is for the suspension dynamics part of it

Re: lca relocation brackets

gotcha. thanks. I knew that they were very beneficial to lowered cars, but I was under the assumption that they mearly changed a lowered car back to the stock angle. Thanks again.
