INSTRUCTIONS
1. The Spohn LCA relocation brackets offer three mounting positions. You can reuse the OEM
mounting location, or you can mount the LCA at 2" or 3" lower than OEM. The holes are placed
in the lower mounting positions following the arc of the OEM LCA length. Therefore a stock
length LCA can be mounted in a lower position without changing the geometry or pinion angle
of the rear.
2. If your car is lowered, note the current geometry of your LCA. The LCA is designed to be
slightly lower in the rear as compared to the front. After lowering, the LCA geometry changes
causing the front of the LCA to be lower than the rear. This causes a lifting up motion on the
rear, which induces wheel hop and traction loss. By using the Spohn LCA relocation brackets,
you can correct your LCA geometry.
3. Using the LCA relocation brackets on a non-lowered car can be very beneficial as well.
Major improvements in traction are seen after increasing the rear angle of the LCA. This
increased downward angle to the rear literally drives the tires into the ground.
4. We recommend installing one bracket at a time. Secure your vehicle on jack stands under
the frame of the car in the rear. Do not support the rear itself on jack stands, be sure to use
the car frame. Remove a rear tire and unbolt the rear LCA mount and let your LCA swing
down.
