Looks cool, but I didn't see how far inboard it moves the springs? Apologies if I missed it.

Also, do you have any pictures of it installed?

 

[abdywgn]

They put the spring almost against the frame rail, so 3/4" or so?

 

[BergmanAutoCraft]

It moves them in about 1/2", even with the inner wheel house.

Do You have a bracket that moves the eye up close to the top to lower the car, in conjunction with flipped or raised front hanger mounting points? Also, those bearings appear to be against the slots up front w/the springs unloaded. Is this limiting the total drop intentionally, or something that can be adjusted with shims(available?),...in case full drop would be a common occurrence?

The front eye has 2 positions. The upper will lower the stance. The slots in the slider bracket are long enough for a flat pro touring type spring and a more arched drag spring. Typically, the droop is limited by the shocks.

@BergmanAutoCraft Any considerations for the sway bar? B or E body sway bar needed?

 

[BergmanAutoCraft]

A body bar is fine.

Is the slider the only difference between your kit and the USCT kit? I bought the USCT kit on here about 6-7 months ago, but might be in on yours if you can explain the differences, please. thanks rick w.

Mine includes delrin bushings front and rear as well as a front hanger reinforcement plate and perches.

Could be wrong but I believe the USCT kit is a 3" relocation, the BAC kit is a 1/2" offset

You are correct. I went to their site to look. Completely different product.

I put mine on over the weekend:

My car previously had the MP Offset Shackle kit since 2009. I ended up welding up the slots I had to cut in the framerail from then. I didn't have to change out my spring pads, the locating hole was actually oversized so the small ~1/4" per side difference was just taken up by the hole. It actually looked that the rearend was probably 1/4" left in the car the entire time before I put this kit on.

The only thing I found is that my ESPO springs from 2002 have the larger spring eye bushing than the kit is designed for so I put it together with my existing polyurathane bushings, which didn't seem to be a problem. The bolt size is shared with the MP kit. You might want to check your springs first if you don't already have the large bolt.

The spring definately sits a lot flatter, you can see the scratches and dents from my trip last year on power tour when there was a lot of weight in the trunk and the leaf spring clamp rubbed it. It clears fine now. I wasn't expecting it, but the car rides better now. Only put about 10 miles on so far to re-check the bolt tightness but so far I'm extremely happy.

Glad it worked out! I've sold out all my complete kits. Most A bodies had 1.5" bushings which is why these were designed this way.

Going forward we will be selling the slider only. Simply not enough interest to make another run of full relocation kits
