relocation brackets

[Twisted Z]

Actually when we designed the extreme sets people use today it was after realizing ALL the forward motion is carried through the LCA's.

The way they work is when you accelerate the rear end pushes FORWARD on the LCA's and UP on the TQ arm. if the LCA angle is UP fromt the rear end to the Chassis the rear tires are driven DOWN into the pavment and traction is a result.

When we came up with this design I started with a car slammed 2in+ and a 4 degree angle.

The car went from 1.9 60fts to 1.7 60s with NO other changes and ran 4/10ths faster.

I posted up on CZ28 and over that winter I was contacted by some of the people everyone buys parts from now and in the spring of 1999 everyone was using them

They work so good I drove them damn near into the nines with a standard style TQ arm mounted on the trans. and 1.4 60ft times.

Do they work? if built correctlt better then any other mod we have tried

Last year I added a MADMAN TQ arm and light wieght CM parts to go with the same set I have been using forever

on a car that has not been lowered just about any of the ones you can buy will work. if your car is lowered...not so well

[integraXTC]

so you guys came up w/ this part? that's crazy, did you get a patent? lol

See our sponsors, UMI has some, plus they're not too expensive.

The only thing out at the time was the metco brakets for lowered cars and they only came with the Metco LCAs. most people did not use them. We took the idea nad engineered it to work in a different way. To give you an idea ours are six inches long

Patens cost a ton of money and do not really do alot these days. to easy to get around them. We have designed tons of stuff for these cars. would be nice to have the cash from it LOL

We may have a line of stuff coming out in the next year. we just need to find a cost effective place to do the work

BTW I have found most of the time the LCA reloactors are not installed correctly and off to one side

wow wish i would have considered this before, thanks guys. anyone know where i can buy these?

Anywhere that sells suspension componets BMR, UMI, etc. I would get the weld in ones. I guess you could get the bolt in ones and weld em later but I think that would cost more.

the weld in are cheaper, I got mine from spohn but i can drive there in 15 min so its no big deal for me.

UMI is running 10% off on their stuff now until tomorrow (15th). I just ordered some bolt ins along with LCAs and an adjustable panhard bar. Was only $289 with free shipping.

care to explain? my car is lowered, and i have a set of J&M brackets that have been sitting in my closet for a year waiting to be installed. tell me they will work.

do you have a tutorial on how to install properly? when i was trying to install mine i noticed that they were off to one side, didnt look right.

[JoeliusZ28]

good information everyone, thanks. how much are your brackets Twisted Z?

LCA relocation brackets are almost a necessity with lowered cars. The benefit of adding reloc. brackets on a lowered car is not quite as high as adding it to a stock height car is what he's saying.
