Lower control relocation brackets ??? i just put relo brackets on my 94 z and it has intrax lowering springs.
when i power brake it the whole real lifts up like 3-4 inches
is this normal
it didn't do it with just springs and standard mounting points for lower control arms
also does any of ur cars sit lower on passenger side?

Yes,It Is Normal.LCA Relocation Brackets Are Just A Current Version Of The 60's/70's Lift Bars Traction Aides.
For Every Action,There Is An Equal And Opposite Reaction.
As Axles(Within The Housing)Want To Rotate To Move The Vehicle Forward,The Rearend Housing Wants To Rotate In The Opposite Direction.Prior To The Installation Of The Relocation Brackets,Housing Rotation(Or Wanting To Rotate)Pushed The LCA's Virtually Straight Forward.With The Relocation Brackets,The LCA's Are Now Positioned At An Upward Angle And Housing Rotation Now Has An Upward Push.Action/Reaction Is Pushing Body Up=Pushing Housing(And Tires)Down.The Extra Force That Is Now Pushing The Body Up Is Also Pushing The Tires Downward For Increased Traction.The Opposite Effect Occurs In Reverse.Aftermarket Suspension Components Such As Re-inforced LCA's With Poly Bushings,Re-inforced Panhard Bar With Poly Bushings,And Torque Arms Will Lessen The Effect Of Relocation Brackets As They Restrict The Potential Rotation Of The Housing As Compared To OEM Components.
"sits lower on passenger side?".Normal Or During Powerbrake? If Your Referring To Normal,There Should Be No Difference Between Driver and Passenger Side As Relocation Brackets Modify Each Side Identically.During Powerbrake,The Driver Side Will Lift Higher Than The Passenger Side.Action/Reaction(Viewed From Rear Of Vehicle)Is As Rearend Housing Wants To Rotate Counterclockwise,Reaction Is Body's Tendency To Rotate Clockwise,Hence The Driver Side Will Lift Higher Than The Passenger Side.This One Also Relates To Why Passenger Side Tire Has Less Grip And Will Break Loose Before The Drivers Side.As The Drivers Side Is Lifting Higher Than The Passenger Side,Action/Reaction Pushes Downward On The Driver Side Tire.
