lower control arm brakets

[steedafever]

which ones are best. ive noticed about 5 different companies. car is being built to handle and not drag. i did BBR LCAs today. very nice peice but with the lowered ride i wont benifit from them til i do the brackts. they all look about the same so IDK

Why not just buy adjustable LCAs and keep from having to buy 2 different products, also saving you from having to weld in the adjustable brackets (they don't have to be welded but for greater strength....)

i guess i should have, but kinda late for me now lol

I *just* installed the Shelby LCARBs, wheelhop: gone.

Still on the stock control arms, upper and lower.

how much did they improve traction?

Considering the temperatures out here, it's hard to say; it's 38 degrees out and I'm still running the PZeros which came with the car. But I did notice it hooks a lot better now instead of skipping about.

Here's a couple of before/after pics:

Now, honestly, I'm still planning on getting the Roush UCA and some decent LCAs, probably Steeda. The reason being that I want to move the LCAs to the upper hole (the stock LCA doesn't fit there) to reduce the anti-squat slightly; I plan on being on a LOT of road courses this year, and if my book on suspension is right, I just moved the instant center to just behind the front door edge. Great for anti-squat, but might constitute a braking problem at 120+ if you are a hard braker (which I am).

what you mean door edge?

 

[warlockgs]

Like the leading door edge; if you were to remove the door, the front facing edge of it

Anyone familiar with these brackets from Steeda?

Mustang Relocation Bracket Lower Control Arms Steeda (05-10)

They have four location points.

Yeah, those don't look like they'd fit. 2005-2010. There are some minor changes in the '11 as compared to the '10, even on the axle.

really?
