UMI Performance 78-88 GM G-Body Rear Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets Bolt In

When you're looking to get the most out of your classic GM G-Body's rear end, especially if you're dealing with wheel hop or traction issues, these bolt-in relocation brackets from UMI Performance are a solid option. This kit includes the relocation brackets themselves, along with new Grade 8 hardware and installation instructions, so you have what you need to get started. They're designed to work with factory lower control arms and most aftermarket styles, fitting right onto the factory rear end housings. You'll find multiple adjustment holes that allow you to set the drop at 2 inches, 2-3/4 inches, or 3-1/4 inches, which helps optimize your vehicle's instant center for better forward traction and launch consistency.

These brackets are CAD designed and CNC laser cut from 3/16" mild steel, ensuring they're well-built and precise. The robust flanges inside the brackets add reinforcement and make sure your factory bushings bolt right in. They can be used on both lowered and non-lowered vehicles, and track testing has shown an average reduction of 0.10 seconds in 60-foot times. While they bolt in without cutting or welding, UMI recommends welding these brackets on cars running drag radials or slicks that are faster than 11-second quarter-mile times for added security.

These relocation brackets are a popular choice for vehicles like the Buick Regal, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and Pontiac Grand Prix from the late 70s through the 80s. While adjustable upper control arms aren't strictly required, they are recommended for further tuning. If you have an aftermarket rear end, you'll want to look at UMI's weld-in relocation brackets instead.
