Default Do I NEED lca brackets and an adj. PHR?

My car is lowered, I have a 12 bolt, and BMR lca's, otherwise suspension is stock. Do I need relocation brackets to get an optimal pinion angle? If so, what is the optimal pinion angle? Is an adj PHR necessary to center the rear when I put my 12bolt in tommorow? Race on the 8th, really don't have the money to buy them, but if its critical I will.

Thanks,
Justin

I think the LCA bracket would help a TON. I really like mine alot. You don't need an adj. PHR as long as the rear end is centered. If not, then go buy one. That's what credit cards are for. <img src="images/icons/grin.gif" border="0">

Justin no more power then my car makes once I lowered my car I installed BMR relocating brackets..I used the bottom holes on the brackets..

I also installed a Randomtech torque arm with the pinion angle set at -2.5 degree's..I talked to several people who've told me for the street you don't want no more angle then that because of U joint failure..

I picked up almost a 10th and 2mph with just the suspension mods once I had them done...

Thanks Tim, good info. Are you still going to bring some of that spray on wax to Eunice?
