Default Are relocation/anti-squat brackets beneficial on a stock height car?

Ive always thought that they were for cars that were lowered, but do they help on stock height cars? Also, what kind of gains can I expect? What kind of gains did you obtain? Thanks.

Im assuming "def." means definately? How does relocation/anti-squat brackets load up your suspension more? Is that a good thing? Thanks.

they always help on a 6 speed. if you are hooking solid and only pulling 1.8's you need a verter or dump form higher rpms.

lower holes make the ride stiff, but the best setting imo

Hey guys what about the relocation brackets with a stock torque arm? I thought doing this on a stock height car would change pinion angle. Does it? Is it ok on an everyday driver. Does it change ride height? Fill me in on every thing. I want all the 60' I can get. Best was 1.54 cam only. Got heads and bigger cam with tuning now. Maybe an A4 guy will chime in and let me know how good it works. Thanks.
