Default Should I get control arm relocation brackets?

I see some people using them. I've upgraded my entire rear suspension, and added a 12 bolt.

Yay? Nay?

IMO, they are a waste. Get adjustable lowers and a killer T/A like Madmans.

Ive already got a hotchkis LCA set and Random Tech TQ arm. Id rather not buy new parts if I don't have to.

I don't think relo brackets or adjustable LCA's are necessary.

Using 26x11.5x16 ET street. I can dead hook, but I have to air the tires down to 13-14 psi to do so. Anything above that I spin....but a lot of it is that the tracks aren't prepped at all out here.

Relocation brkts are very important. They will increase the bite that the rear suspesion has. What they do is move the instant center up, giving you more bite

I've seen a lot of arguments on both sides of the LCA relocation issue.

My personal experience is that they most definately do work. I've taken them on/off my car a few times, and it always works better with the LCA relocated.

YMMV...

I like 'em. Without them my rear squats too much on the launch. With them it stays perfectly level.
