Are you lowered?

stock ride height

Then no relocation brackets needed. They're just to re-achieve your LCA angle when lowered.

I have used brackets on my black '94 since I first installed my LCA's . . . 1.66 sixty foot times on a bolt-on/nitto car ain't bad

I think they help. They have two set of holes. Most with lowered cars use the bottom set of holes and most with stock height use the upper holes. They are not used to set pinion angle. They move the instant center of the suspension. If you look at your LCA's with the car on the ground, they should be pointing upward toward the front of the car. You dont want them parallel to the ground, or even pointing down in an extremly bad case.

wrong. torque arm corrects for pinion angle lca's and relocation brackets change your instant center. some will praise and some will say relocation brackets dont help. i for one have seen them work and im going to run them on my 9" as soon as both the 9" and brackets get here next week. when you change the angle of them you increase the cars hooking ability by decreasing the amount of wheel hop. i would say order the lca's, brackets, and adjustable torque arm if youre really looking to hook. that way you can set you pinion angle as well as change you instant center.

Edited my post. Yeah I don't know why I said pinion angle. I meant to simply say "angle." Guess cuz it was late. I've checked and set my pinion angle a dozen times with my torque arm, I have no idea why I said pinion angle.

Yeah I decided I didn't need the LCA brackets cuz my LCA's had a nice downward angle to the rear. After I got it all put together, I was relieved that I didn't have to put another $100 in brackets.
