Cobra 29 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 I understand that the installation of LCAs and LCA brackets help with launch and wheels hop. I understand how the LCArms can help by comparing the after market parts with the OEM parts. How do the LCA brackets help? I assume because they position the axle end of the LCA lower which provides more leverage to keep the axle from turning upward on launch???

Moncho Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Here's a great article that explains lca brackets. LCA Brackets Great read, now I have a much better understanding of LCA's! Thanks much. OP - Thanks for asking the question. Cheers, Moncho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XY GTHO Phase III Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Here's a great article that explains lca brackets. LCA Brackets Thanks for that article as it really explains a lot. I also wanted to ask if there was a particular manufacturer and bushing type that you would recommend. I plan on keeping my 500 stock except for a future CAI, tune and I have KR mufflers and I do not plan on lowering it, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFL05GT Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I recently went with BBR billet LCAs ( link ), CHE anti-squat brackets ( link ) and J & M adjustable panhard bar ( link ) on my SGT, and I am very happy with the new setup. Here's some photos after the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moncho Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 @ SoFL05GT, Great job on those rear end mods and awesome pics! Looks great, and the worksmanship seems stellar! Did you have "rear end hop" on both launching & going over bumps on turns? Can you describe the ride now versas stock? How has it improved wheel hop? Modding the rear end on my GT500 is real high on the priority list. Cheers, Moncho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been to the drag strip since the install, but the difference should be night and day. Since the install the backend feels much tighter and more responsive. During hard acceleration there's no more squatting. In fact the opposite occurs, which feels kind of old school, like back in the days when I had traction bars installed. I've never experienced hopping over bumps on turns, because I don't road race. I also have a Steeda adjustable upper control arm to install, which I will likely do after cooler temps arrive in So FL. I've installed an UCA before, and they're not much fun on jack stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moncho Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 SoFL05GT, Sounds like all your efforts have paid off, next will be to verify on the track. I don't road race as well, the hopping I get is from standard accellaration around a slight turn while going over a bump. It's enought to get your attention for sure. If your not experiencing this hopping on mild driving on secondary roads & highways your are probably good to go. Thanks again for sharing all the information!
