Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets
Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets
Just ordered a set of 1" lowering springs. Will this small amount of a drop affect traction and wheel hop to the extent that I will need to get lower control arm relocation brackets? What has been your experience?

I have the Eibach Pro series springs, good for a 1" drop. You do not need LCA relocation brackets. In fact I went ahead and bolted on the Hotchkis LCA and panhard bar. Great improvement in handling, but not enough engine power to determine the effects of wheel hop.

I also have Eibach Pro-Kit springs. I noticed more wheel spin on launching. The rear LCA mount winds up being higher than the front, which is not a good situation. I recommend getting the LCA relocation brackets.

Does anybody have the demensions or plans to make them? I really don't feel like buying anything when I can just make them. I'd really appreciate the demensions, e-mail me if you have them.
Thanks
