I am thinking about these link what are good and bad of bolt in LCR's
is ok to put these on a stock height car

These are prety much the same and are very good pieces but are alot less expensive. There shouldnt be a problem if you put them on a stock height car, they can only help.

Thanks
But I was looking at the bolt on as I dont weld and would have to pay someone to install them this would add to the cost

For something like that man, I would think welding it on would be much, much better. Most any shop could do it and it would only run you maybe $20 or so. Bring along something to paint it with afterwards, before the LCAs are put back on, and you should be set. Just my 0.02
I have BMR bolt ons and they are great. The mount is triangulated and uses the shock mount to locate the bracket properly. It's very strong, A good choice. They will help your launch and 60' times.
I really don't think there's any question about the effectiveness of the LCA relocation brackets, even on a stock ride height car. I think how much they help is somewhat dependant on how much power you are putting to the pavement. I know with my setup, I had wheel hop on the street, running 500HP through a T56, Strange 12-bolt and 315/35-17 BFG drag radials. I also had some issues on the track, running with a small shot of nitrous at 635HP, and 28" QTP's. The Spohn relo brackets eliminated ALL wheel hop.
Similarly, I saw Steve Spohn put a set of relo brackets on an 1,125HP 30th SS, and the car broke into the low 1.3X 60-ft times, where it had never run better than 1.4X in the past.
My car actually sits a little higher than stock in the back with the Eibach Drag Launch springs, and I run the LCA's in the lowest hole in the relo brackets. My comments are all relevant to straight line traction... not sure how choice of LCA height would affect cornering and braking, although when my car was still street driven, it didn't seem to hurt it at all in those areas.

Thanks everyone
The info helps the reason I am considering installing the brackets is The car has terriable wheel hop at the track (bad enough that I stopped and looked under the car the first time it happened) as this happens with a stock car on street tires I cant imagine how violent the hop must be on a modded car
Again thanks
