BMR Relocation Brackets

[My Mighty White 95 Z28]

I just installed some BMR relocation brackets. The setting I put the lower control arms was on the lower hole. I was wondering would this be the best setting for drag racing and everyday driving? Or should I set the lower control arms on the higher hole? I will be running at the track on saturday hopefully since I am on some nitto drag radials I purchased. So I am thinking which settings to set on the lower control arms. Any suggestions and ideas would be greatly apprecaited thanks. The reason I ask is I have heard by putting the control arm on the lowest setting, the car does a power hop whening launching. Is that good?

Ive read that the ideal spot for LCA's is level with the ground. Taking this into account, you would want to put them in what ever hole puts them perpendicular with the ground. However, Im not too sure about that. What track do you run at? Do you run at Carlsbad? I know a few people that go down there. Ever see a Blue Corvette Z06 there with skinnies and Slicks?

"Level with the ground" = "parallel with the ground".

For drag racing, you want to insure the connection at the axle remains below the connection at the body, even under chassis squat on launch. The lowest bolt hole will insure this happens. The middle hole will probably be OK on a stock ride-height car, without a huge power adder. Not sure what you mean by a "power hop".... in general, you want the tire to stay in contact with the ground, the axle to be pressing down on the wheel, and the body to lift slightly. I can't think of any reason you would want a "hop".

Not sure how the hole selection affect "normal driving" or aggressive use like Auto-X. Someone who actually drives their car around a corner will have to comment.

I have mine mounted at the lowest hole on my BMR brackets and driving around seems the same. I haven't auto crossed since I did this though. Not sure if it helps or is bad for that.

Well..... there are a few good and bad points. On acceleration, the relocation brackets work great at driving the differential to the pavement. There is a downside though. If you are in reverse and happen to hit the throttle a hair too hard, it's going to hop like a mad rabbit. I also feel that in corning over less than smooth surfaces, the chassis becomes a little unsettled. You might want to experiment with which hole you use. The bottom one is definately more aggressive, the top might be a better compromise.
