Anyone know what hardware I need for my LCA Brackets? Posted By: drauka On: 08-02-2009 @ 22:09:51 Reply | Edit I just got some LCA relocation brackets (they look like the UMI style) that bolt in. I'd like to put them on with the stock LCAs for now, but they didn't come with hardware of instructions. I'm pretty clear on the install, I just don't know what size bolts I need and how important that metal ferrule is. Anyone have an idea of what sizes these are? Length? Washers? Spacer/ferrule?

Mine came with all new hardware. -- Steven, 96 Z28 M6, intake, headers, exhaust, 4:10 gears, LCA reloc. brackets, HBHRacing fan switch  Posted By: drauka On: 08-02-2009 @ 22:52:10 Reply | Top | Edit Did you have a metal ferrule/spacer? -- '99 T/A Pewter A4 - SLP Lid, SLP LM, Pacesetter LT's, ORY, !emissions, Custom Floormats! 12.98@108.35 Posted By: jjdynomite

yea -- lsxltx.com Posted By: mystic95cam On: 08-03-2009 @ 11:59:00 Reply | Top | Edit Yes, I did. I forgot about that little piece. It's pretty important. It'll keep you from bending the bracket on the rear end when you tighten down the bolt that holds the reloc bracket to the rear end. A fastener supply place or possibly your local hardware store should have a spacer or something that will work. -- Steven, 96 Z28 M6, intake, headers, exhaust, 4.10 gears, LCA reloc. brackets, HBHRacing fan switch Posted By: drauka On: 08-04-2009 @ 01:08:06 Reply | Top | Edit I got them all in, I used a 2.5" galvanized nipple and hacksawed 2 threads off....perfect. I can't feel a single bit of difference driving around or with spirited driving. I'll see how it is at the track with some objective numbers.

Posted By: drauka On: 08-04-2009 @ 10:27:27 Reply | Top | Edit That's what I figure. I wasn't beating on it or launching it hard on the street though. I figure the LCAs will make a difference because of the poly/rod ends too. -- '99 T/A Pewter A4 - SLP Lid, SLP LM, Pacesetter LT's, ORY, Trans-go HD2, !emissions, Tuned by Frost, Custom Floormats! 12.98@108.35 Posted By: mystic95cam On: 08-04-2009 @ 10:51:46 Reply | Top | Edit Which holes did you bolt the LCAs to; the top or the bottom? You should feel a difference when you launch hard. I know I did. It seems to me that I get less rear suspension movement under hard acceleration and more instantaneous torque to the wheels. -- Steven, 96 Z28 M6, intake, headers, exhaust, 4.10 gears, LCA reloc. brackets, HBHRacing fan switch Posted By: Jeremiah On: 08-04-2009 @ 11:01:38 Reply | Top | Edit You can twist your stock lcas with your hands at each end..moving them isnt going to make a difference until you get a good set of lcas on there. -- 2005 CTS-V LS6 M6 13.66@105 stock and hot/humid  Posted By: drauka On: 08-04-2009 @ 11:27:42 Reply | Top | Edit Yeah, i got the brackets for free when i bought wheels/tires off a guy so I'm not complaining at all. And like i said, i haven't launched hard yet to see a difference. I used the bottom of the two mounting holes. They said that is better for straight line, but not as good for road racing (which i dont do). -- '99 T/A Pewter A4 - SLP Lid, SLP LM, Pacesetter LT's, ORY, Trans-go HD2, !emissions, Tuned by Frost, Custom Floormats! 12.98@108.35 Posted By: crunkmaro On: 08-04-2009 @ 16:39:02 Reply | Top | Edit i have a set of chromemoly ones FS lol -- Posted By: 2piececrank On: 08-01-2009 @ 00:00:56 Reply | Top | Edit Sarav, how hard is it to follow Nietzsche?
