Product Details

If you're looking to get better grip off the line and reduce that annoying wheel hop on your 1978-1988 GM G-Body, these rear lower control arm relocation brackets from UMI Performance are a solid option. They're designed to bolt right onto your factory rear end housing, making installation straightforward without needing to cut or weld, and they work with both stock and most aftermarket lower control arms. By lowering the rear mounting point of your control arms, these brackets help optimize your suspension's instant center, which is key for improving forward traction and getting a more consistent launch.

These brackets are made from strong 3/16" mild steel that's CNC laser cut for accuracy, ensuring a precise fit. You get multiple adjustment holes, allowing you to choose a 2", 2-3/4", or 3-1/4" drop to best suit your vehicle's setup, whether it's lowered or at stock height. Track testing has shown an average reduction of 0.10 seconds in 60-foot times, which can make a notable difference when you're launching hard. While they bolt in for most applications, UMI recommends welding them on if you're running drag radials or slicks and are consistently running faster than 11-second quarter-mile times.

This kit includes new Grade 8 hardware and installation instructions. While not strictly required, UMI suggests that adjustable upper control arms can further help optimize your suspension setup. These brackets are manufactured in the USA and are a popular choice for G-Body owners looking to improve their vehicle's launch performance.
