any one know any thing about relocating the rear control arms for better instant center???

i have boxed arms and poly bushing for the 76' but was wondering if anyone has bought(or made) brackets to relocate the arms(im assuming just the uppers). Im trying to set this thing up strictly for drag racing and was looking for some adjustability in the rear to change the way the car would hook. idk much about rear end geometry but i know that they make brackets for alot of cars...any info appreciated

Buy a new set of performance control arms, the will be longer, hence your will also use the relocation brackets they will come with them, then buy some double end adjustable for the uppers so you can set the correct pinon angle as well:nanawrench:

if i had the coin i would already have aftermarket parts. Would the addition of relocation brackets not help my current setup? I was contemplating making a pair...
