texas_mustang · June 25th, 2008, 02:58 PM

im lowering my car about an inch, to and inch and a half. now im getting an adjustable panhard bar

but do i really need the lca relocation brackets?

usafimj · June 25th, 2008, 03:05 PM

i don't think you need them if you don't have LCA's

algx · June 25th, 2008, 03:06 PM

I think they are needed if you drag race and experience wheel hop.
Look at this thread from Orangemonster "LCA Relocation Bracket", usefull info there...

Since your getting CHE LCA's then you should get them. 07stanggt can hook you up

k. also, how will i notice my new lcas? like what should i be looking for while driving?

It should help you plant the tires better during launching.

LOL trust mean you wont have to look. you will notice them right away. even my son got in my car and said what did you do to the suspension.

What type of driving do you plan to do? Drag race? Road race/Autocross?

texas_mustang · June 25th, 2008, 08:40 PM

im doing road race type racing

im getting FRPP shocks and struts, FRPP lowering springs, eibach front and rear swaybars, che lower control arms, and steeda camber adjusters

im also about to buy an adjustable panhard bar and BMR lca relocation brackets

Kobie · June 25th, 2008, 09:53 PM

Ok. My suggestions are...
Steeda LCA brackets. They have more adjustment holes. You will need them to get the arms where you want them. Level to pointing up slightly at the rear of the car.
UMI lower control arms with poly ( car end ) spherical rod ( axle end ) This will net a quieter ride with a more free axle movement. Critical!
UMI panhard rod with dual spherical rod ends. Ok, a little more rear end noise, but FAR more effective axle location. Big difference between this and poly/poly bar.
Dont forget the panhard bar upper brace!

Kobie · June 25th, 2008, 09:58 PM

Forgot to mention... Steeda competition upper control arm with mount. Absolutely the best upper mount available.

If you need part numbers for all of the above I will dig them up!

get a panhard bar brace when you purchase the panhard bar for the added support & strength.
