Default Can someone explaing LCA etc?

I keep reading of people replacing the lower control arm or relocating it etc. Some adjustable some arent. Anyone able to give me a quick explanation with advantages and whats the best to buy if you are on budget. I appreciate it. No luck with search [&:]

ok, good info there. I read the whole write up. It basically improves your traction/launch. Now what about UCAs? Back to LCAs, is this what i'd want... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005-...QQcmdZViewItem

Yes, improves your traction/launch. This is only acheived with the relocation brakets which changes the angle of your LCA's. Just replacing your LCA's with aftermarket will only be lighter. However, if you're going to lower your car, getting adjustable LCA's (or an adjustable UCA) will allow you to adjust your pinion angle. Here is a good vid of BMR fabs LCA "anti wheel hop" kit and how it works to improve your traction:

thanks! I have the roush rear springs only as far as lowering goes. So basically a relocation bracket would be all i'd want if i'm on a budget?
