UMI Performance's new bolt-in control arm relocation brackets are a
100% bolt in set-up that require no welding, drilling or cutting. They
are a simple bolt on that can be completed a 30 minutes or less. Please
read below for more information.
Lower control arm relocation brackets reposition your instant center by
changing your lower control arm angle for improved traction.
Relocation brackets lower the rear of the control arm up to 3", a must
for all lowered vehicles to correct lost suspension geometry. By
lowering your vehicle, you are changing the lower control arm angle
allowing the rear mounting point to sit higher than the front. This
will, in return, cause wheel hop and a great deal of traction loss.
Lower control arm relocation brackets allow you to correct this angle
and gain back much needed traction. On a stock height vehicle
relocation brackets will also work excellent to eliminate tire spin and
wheel hop by changing the vehicles instant center point.
Note: Bolt-on relocation brackets will not work with aftermarket rear ends.
Lowered Vehicles:
We do not recommend lowering a 3rd or
4th generation F-Body without lower control arm relocation brackets
due to the compromise in the geometry on the instant center. Brackets
will significantly improve instant center position, eliminate wheel hop
and increase traction. Brackets installed will also help 60-foot times
of .10 or better, lower ETs and increase track consistency--a must for
all lowered vehicles!
Non-Lowered Vehicles:
Product installed on a stock
height vehicle will also see a great increase in traction by lowering
the rearward angle of the lower control arm, allowing more force to be
placed on the rear tires. Relocation brackets have two settings to
allow the lower control arm to be lowered either 2" or 3", depending on
your preference. Settings are placed in a correct pattern that will
allow use of all OEM control arms or any aftermarket control arm
(brackets do not require a longer control arm.) Brackets installed on a
non-lowered F-Body provide a .10 or better 60-foot; reduction and an
increase in track consistency.
Installation:
Brackets are 100% bolt on and require no welding or drilling. All
hardware and detailed installation instructions are included with each
kit.
