LCA Relocation Brackets on Stock Car

i have heard that the LCA's have to be level with the ground, but I also heard that using relocation brackets on even a stock car would do good as well. I have been using relocation brackets for a few years with the LCA on the bottom most hole. Am I hurting something doing it this way or is the bottom home just for lowered vehicles?

You aren't hurting anything at all. If anything you are helping. You should have a great downward force on your rear this way. How does the car feel? Does it hook or spin? Do you have wheel hop or do the tires plant? Those will be the real determining factor to their effectivness.

Car spins into 3rd gear. I have the relocation brakets, LCA's BMR Torque arm, konis all set on soft, but the car will not hook for nothing. With BFG drag radials I'm even spinning and the best was a 2.2

You might be shocking the tires too hard with such an angle on the lcas. Move the instant center forward (bring the back of the lcas up) and it won't hit so hard and hopefully hook.

Is the torque arm adjustable too?

I would just change to the other hole on the brackets and let us know what happens.

if you're running radials then just put them back in the original pivot, even if the car is lowered a little
