Metco LCA questions

[Dan K]

I just got some of these LCA's today and I'm going to be putting them on with an ATR swaybar in the next week or so.
If you have these, how do you like them?
Any tips for the install?
Did you use the relocation brackets or not? Why?
Thanks for any help!

I have them on my car. I use the reloc brackets. The ATR sway bar is gonna be a PIA to get in there. It was in my car but all are different.
Good Luck

Did you just bolt the relocation brackets in?
I'd like to find a way to weld them, if possible. Just seems that would be stronger.
Any tips on getting that swaybar in?

Use the brackets. That's the whole point. Dropping the rear of the lower control arms moves the Instant Center closer to the front of the car...instead of behind it like stock. And mine are bolted, not welded although I should weld them now.

The ATR bar is "supposed" to fit in between the arms but mine wouldn't until I persuaded it by grinding on the bar. And I bolted the bar directly to the Metcos instead of using the totally inadequate extensions Metco provides to move the rear of the bar up in the stock location relative to the pumpkin. Because I didn't use the extensions it hangs very low....it might be too low for a street car.

Let me know if you want some pics and I'll send 'em to you.
