Driveshaft/LCA/brackets/UCA

07stanggt · June 19th, 2008, 04:42 PM

All in. I really like how tight the cars feels now with that suspension stuff. Wow, i never really was a big beleiver in contol arms but man, even just under normal driving the car feel fabulous, i can feel the road a lot more now, which i like, everything just feels tighter and still not bad on the highway cruiseing.

Driveshaft, actually ended up with a spydershaft, long story. so i gotta change my garage. yea i can feel the car pick up a little bit, dont know that i feel it the way some guys describe it, but it feels lighter and quicker. I didnt really get on it yet but I am deffinatley am very happy with all my mods. Very happy!

By the way lets get some votes in.

little competition, win some money.

so what all did you do suspension wise?

im about to put on teh swayz barz and some che LCAs.

07stanggt · June 19th, 2008, 05:21 PM

just BMR lowers, relocation brackets and the metco upper adjustable control arm. car feels great, im suprised at what a difference it made. I honeslty didnt think the car would feel any different to me under normal driving. Glad to admit i was wrong.

already had FRPP springs and bilstien shocks, im sure that makes a difference but everything seems to be working great now. I need to tighten up the front a little with a sway bar and strut tower brace and i'll eat some imports for lunch at summit point this summer. I deffintaly need to tighten the front up though i can feel the flex there a little when i corner now, change one thing and you just end up chasing the suspension you know. but im real happy.

ive heard UCAs are a bitch to install

and what do the relocation brackets do? ive got another 400 left.

im thinking a steeda 3 point subrame brace
adjustable panhard bar
and maybe brackets?

Jucostud · June 19th, 2008, 05:52 PM

you don't need the relocation brackets unless you are lowered. If you are lowered, they return you back to stock angles.

07 STROKER · June 19th, 2008, 06:25 PM

lets not forget who told you to get LCA's in the first place....

tribaltek · June 19th, 2008, 06:26 PM

Glad to hear everything feels nice and tight! I might throw my LCA's on this weekend, but I assume I won't be able to notice them until I get the relocation brackets.

Let us know how it all feels at the track!

Jucostud · June 19th, 2008, 07:25 PM

relocation bracket aren't going to help you at all. you've got the stock springs right?

I wouldnt know about the install, i didnt do it. As for the relocation brackets, like juco said, it will basically lower the rear of your lower control arm helping with weight transfer on a launch and from what i feel....they help to keep those tires on the pavement in turns and on bumps. It just feels like your tires follow the pavement better. Im sure the poly bushings in the control arms make a big difference in that area as well. Certainly if your lowered you want the brackets and even if your not maybe they would help out a hardcore drag racer.

Indeed it was you sir. Thank you, very good mod, just was out banging some turns with a s2000, man those little cars handle, i left his is butt like he was walking when we got to the straight though. tires keep contact with road much better especially when hitting bumps in a turn.
