LCA Relocation for Street?

[darkfa8]

Been wondering if getting BMR Fabrication's LCA relocation kit ($69.95), which allows for moving the rear lower control arms down as much as 2.5" were wise for a primarily street driven car?

Would they adversely affect handling and cornering on the street?

At current, I just have BMR's tubular rear lower arms with rubber bushings, tokico illumina shocks and Moog cargo coil springs (gonna change to Eibach Pros or Moog 6435)

Sounds like they copied Chuck Leeper's drops.

It will increase the anti-squat percentage and the car will rise up at launch rather than sitting down in the rear. In some cases, this may unload the rear tires after launch. It may also unload the rear tires during hard braking.

Kevin S. has posted quite a bit about suspension set up for our cars. After considering what he posted, and buying a copy of "4 Link Calculator" to see for myself, I have come to the conclusion that it is better to raise the rear of the rear uppers or lower the front of the rear uppers which pulls the instant center bck under the car a bit. I think it was Kevin that pointed out that some of our cars actually have the instant center behind the car.

Ride Height affects the geometry and my car is lowered which affects my calculations.

It might pay you to go to Kevin's web site and look at some of his info.
