New 2007 GT500 in the family-- TRACTION: who has it and where can I get some?

[BMR Tech 2]

A set of lower control arms will go a long way in getting rid of wheel hop. An upper will get rid of the rest of it. If your father doesn't plan on lowering the car, he won't need relocation brackets. They can still help some on stock height cars, but I would start with the LCAs and see where that gets you. If your father plans on lowering the car, I'd just get the relocation brackets and knock out the LCA/relocation brackets at the same time.

I recommend our TCA032. They're light, strong, and stupidly inexpensive. You won't find a better arm for the price, especially with our Thanksgiving sale coming up in a few weeks. I think your father will be happy with the LCA/relo or LCAs alone on a street car. If he plans on tracking the car, he'll probably want to add an adjustable upper control arm and mount.

There is no need to weld the relocation brackets. We have numerous cars with sub 1.4 60's running them bolted in. JPC is going 1.1x on them, bolted in. They're very, very strong.

That's the setup I have and its awesome! Very strong parts. I out launch all of my buddies at the track, even my cousin with a 12 sec E85 Evo X.

With a stock ride height..and assuming LCA's are parallel to the ground, I'd still be inclined to use the lca re-locate brackets..then use the top holes. Then the lca's would be 2" lower at axle end. Then you have some weight on the axle when you hit the gas. (lca's are then pushing up at an angle). With my 1.25" drop from the lowering springs, I initially used the top holes on the lca re-locate brackets. Top to bottom, the holes provide for a 2-3-4" drop. 2-1.25= .75" lower at axle end. After 1 yr, I swapped to middle holes. Now it's 3-1.25 = 1.75" lower at axle end. Traction improved a bunch.

BMR LCA's with relocation brackets and call it a day.

Ditto!! Just call Dylan, he will set you up perfectly.
