LCA Question

Well I've got another stupid LCA question. If I lower the car, can I just get the adjustable LCAs and realign them? Or would I still need the relocation brackets? Thanks.

you will still need the relocation brackets. it's up and down that needs to be readjusted after lowering the car, not front and back.

spohn, umi, bmr, they are all about the same amount and the quality is the same across the board. you'll have to let me weld them on though as they are not a bolt on deal...

not to take anything from matt, but if something happens to a rearend you can just take them off and but them on the new one. thats the reason i went with the bolt on ones. and no weling required. one day i need to get some welding training.

I have the UMI brackets and they are bolt on ones as well but once I have them installed, I'm getting them welded on.

I suggest using UMI for you're suspension pieces. I have LCA's, LCA brackets, Adj.Panhard bar, Wonderbar and SFC's from them and they are REAL nice parts.

they come with new bolts, all you need to do is use the factory ones to attach the lca to the brackets, but to each there own . lol
