Default Misc rear suspension questions

Ok, here's one for you suspension experts... Adjustable LCA's... how to adjust, how long to make them, what actually works.

Secondly, LCA Relocation brackets, thoughts and comments, which ones are best?

The LCA's are only used to center the wheel and axle into the wheel well. Too far forward or backward and you can inadvertantly do some body work with the tires.

I'm not sure on the relocation brackets, I thought they are mostly needed for lowered cars, I could be wrong though.

relocation brackets- spohn mainly needed for lowered cars.
Adjustable control arms. To center rear wheels in wheel wells. I personally used a tape measure from the front of the car to the rear of the car (hub) and got everything square locked down the adjusters and went from there.
