Default LCA relocation brackets on lowered car

For the guys that are lowered (preferably on Stranos & Konis) did you install the LCA relocation brackets without any issues? I've read many threads how non-lowered guys have issues with the wheels sitting too far forward and I want to avoid this. What should the order of operation be to install these correctly?

Lowered or non-lowered the rear end will still sit centered in the car. Our brackets will keep your rear end centered in the wheel wells even when it is lowered.

If I can help anymore please ask. Thank you!

I should have mentioned that they are UMI bolt-on brackets. My car has UMI non-adjustable tubular LCA, but eventually will move to a poly/rod set.

pjb, so your wheels sit in the stock location with the brackets on and the car lowered? Nothing has been shifted back or forth?

Is there an order of operation as to what to loosen on each side first before tightening, etc?

I followed the instructions that came with the UMI brackets and had no problems. wheels are centered front/rear.
