I've had a question about LCARBs for a little while now, I've just never remembered when I'm here... I understand the theory about LCA angle planting the tires harder (or causing wheelhop if they're moved in the other direction), & I can see where LCARBs would be a good idea for those whose primary focus is on street/strip activity.

But - are there any LCARBs available that allow you to retain the stock angle, rather than moving the rear mounting point down? I am working toward running my car at triple digits on the Bonneville salt, & retaining the factory angle would actually work better for that. (And it would be nice to have the option to lower the rear mounting points when I run the car at the local dragstrip.)

Thanks guys.

Spohn's brackets allow you to bolt the LCA through the factory hole, or lower it.

EXCELLENT! Thank you ApeIron, I'll likely be placing the order today then!

Interesting. I just checked their site, then called 'em up because I didn't see anything that said that you could use the factory position. I spoke to (what sounded like) an older gentleman, who told me that you couldn't, but that you might be able to "ream 'em out a little bit" to be able to do that. Left me a bit confused after the call.

I took a look at this picture though, which seems to show that it would be possible...



Is anyone here using them that could say for sure one way or the other??

Right, almost all of the LCA-RB's have three holes. Stock, one step lower, and two steps lower.

Thanks for the response Kevin. I'm not sure that you saw the "edit" that I added, since it appears that I was typing that up as you responded, but (when I have more time) I'll definitely be contacting some more vendors just to see what they have to say.

UMI ones will, but the bolt that goes through the top hole is 7/16" not 12mm, so basically just grab a uni-bit that will open the hole up to 12mm or 1/2" if using rod ends and have at it.

Here's a side view pic of mine:

They're a homemade set.
