Will these FRPP relocation brackets work with the stock boss 302/GT500 lower control arms?

... Requires aftermarket lower control arms....

Because typically the lengths will be different and thus adjustable arms "should" be required - in my humble opinion.
The "issue" was related to a very small run that were made incorrectly and FRPP replaced them. Anything you would buy now shouldn't have that issue.BOSS5OH said:So it looks like these LCA's and the FRPP Relocation brackets are the winning combo!

Are these the same FRPP LCA's that you guys have been having issues with?

Did you install lowering springs? The LCA relocation brackets are needed when you lower the car. If you're running stock springs, I wouldn't install the relocation brackets. Either the poly bushing LCAs you referenced above or the rod end M-5649-S LCAs like I have from the 302S should eliminate the wheel hop. To ensure it's completely eliminated you can also install an upgraded UCA like I did, but it's probably not necessary to eliminate wheel hop.

The 302S initially came with them in the lower hole, but the race teams found the upper hole performed better so they relocated them. I just followed their lead. I noticed a huge improvement in the FRPP LCAs. You would get significant wheel hop with the stock LCAs and associated rubber bushings. The rod ends on my FRPP LCAs, and to a similar degree those with the poly bushings, do not allow the deflection you get with the stockers.BOSS5OH said:Lol. Everyone is saying something different.
Whats the difference between having them mounted in the lower/upper hole, and did you notice anything between the stock/FRPP LCA's? Which is optimal for a car lowered 1.5 inches?
JScheier said:That lower location is too low for a 1.5" drop. For short term use, it will be fine (IE: safe).
darreng505 said:Can you elaborate on this please? I have around a 1.5-1.8" drop and have my adj. LCA's mounted in the lowest hole of my BMR relo brackets. This has greatly improved rear end stability during high speed braking (especially on declining straights).
My research on this prior turned up that the lowest holes are best (needed) for extremely lowered vehicles to keep the LCA geometry in tact relative to the rear axle.
