the relocate the point where the lca's connect to the body, and correct the angle for a lowered car.

do it, it will prevent excess squatting on acceleration and improve grip

axually they lower the mounting location on the rearend to get the suspention back in the right geometry...its not a must on a stock car that dont go to the track..but other than that i would think so..they limit wheel hop and tire spin..
