how did you like the install of those
LCA brackets? I was thinking about getting them but i dont want to do coilovers so i dont know how practical it would be considering i would need a large spring spacer
You dont need coilovers for it, its actually made to mount the shock in the stock location but higher or lower. And why would you need a spring spacer? Can I ask what you need the bracket for? This bracket is really overkill for my car, I am definitely not using it for what it is intended for. I am using it because when I lowered my coilovers all the way the shock would be fully compressed and have no travel, so, I needed to mount the bottom of the shock lower to give more travel.
The bracket mounts pretty easy, you need to cut away part of the old bracket, I used this with an angle grinder with a cut off wheel on it. Then you just slide it over and drill a couple holes and bolt it to the old bracket, there are 8 bolts total that mount it to the bracket. I was unable to drill the holes on the side because of their position I could not fit my drill in there so I am putting welds around the edges for extra support as I only have 4/8 bolts in. I got the bracket from racecraft, I am sure it's designed for high HP cars launching off the line off slicks, the bracket allows you to adjust the height of the shock and control arm, I guess giving you more adjust ability for the pinion angle or what not.
and I give credit to
srtthis for showing me these brackets, I wasn't sure if they were going to work but man they worked perfect for what I needed. I thought I was going to have to do all kinds of custom things to get my car lower, this bracket saved my life.
I like the lowering myself.
What I don't like is the tires too narrow for the rims, and the "it barely fits" look you get from stretching them on.
Give me sidewalls even with the rim, or even a drawn in, anyday over the bowed out look.
Yea just the look I like I guess, they're 245's on a 10" wheel.
Good looking fox you have there, can't wait to see it all done.
Thanks man, I got everything buttoned up tonight, after I roll the fenders this weekend I will post some pics up of it done for you guys.
