Lca's relocation brackets ? w/in.

[LoudLT1]

installing BMR Lca's and panhard bar soon and wanted to know when and why do you need relocation brackets? i also have a set of BMR Sfc.
P.s. anyone have a G-loud Brace on there F-body? any benefits?
thanks,

If your car isn't lowered, you really
won't need to worry about.

My springs are sagging like she is lowered,
and my LCA's are horizontal.. I really
need them on my car.

You will see an improvement even if you car isn't lowered. The back of my car actually sits about 1/2" higher than stock, due to the Eibach Drag Launch springs. The Strange 12-bolt would hop like crazy. Installed the Spohn LCA relocation brackets and the car has never lost traction since.... 1.6 60-fts.

My LCA's are horizontal, and so is my panhard bar.

I should of taken a picture while over at Spohns.

Damn stock suspension.

Oh well.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. As the tires try to rotate, the differential tries to rotate opposite the tires. The torque arm limits the rotation, but some of the rotational energy is redirected to the lower control arms. By lowering the rear mounting of the LCA by the use of lowering brackets allows that force to apply more leverage to the chassis. Instead of the rear of the the car squatting, the differential tries to lift the chassis thereby pushing the differential downward for more force applied to the tires. The result is more bite from the same tire on a launch. so, yep... they work even on a stock suspension.

I think it was Joe who mentioned that in reverse, the brackets would actually make the wheel hop worse. Here is my question, if you are at a high RPM and let off of it without shifting gears, will it make the rear want to hop?

hmmm...... never tried that end of it. I do know that I blipped the throttle a little to hard starting off in reverse and she hopped pretty good. Enough to know that I don't want to do that again. At speed, I would doubt that there would be a differance. What is really happening when there is wheel hop is that the tires are going between moments of traction and slip. The faster you go, the more traction you have (up to the limits of where aerodynamic lift comes into play), so my guess would be no.
