lca relocation??
lca relocation?? i'm about to order some lca's and was wondering if i should get the relocation kit with it? my car is at stock height right now, and i haven't made my mind up whether i'm lowering it. car doesn't have any wheel hop like i've seen people post about, i was just wondering if the relocation brackets for the lca's are worth getting. O and also how do you install the relocation brackets? i've helped my brother put on his lca's but not the relocation so i don't have any experience with them, it looks like you have to take the shock off to put them on?.. i doubt thats the case i just wasn't sure, any help is appreciated.

alright thanks, that helps me want the relocation brackets more. does it really help the traction as much as people say it does?

I had pretty bad wheel hop prior, but I installed the arms and brackets at the same time. Took care of the hop, now just spins when I break the tires loose. I'd go for it, if you decide to lower it, then you already have them. It made a noticeable difference launching, especially on the 1-2 shift, much more planted. I also believe you have the cut a bracket somewhere back there since you have an LS1.

Verdad Gallardo No picuters but at the back of the stock lca mount there is the brake cable bracket, you need to the end of it. Ill search for the pic, i saw it somewhere. Im lowered with lca's and the brackets, and my rear just dips about 1/2" and hooks nasty, no wheel hop or traction loss.

Yeah, if your lowering your car then get the LCA relocation brackets, otherwise spend your money elsewhere.
IMO, don't get them until you need them.
Here's a picture of mine, and it shows where I cut the parking brake cable bracket.

The bolt in versions will not work on an aftermarket rear. Weld ins will work on either factory or aftermarket.
By the looks of the pics all you guys are puttin in the last hole..Is it because you are lowered or do you put it in even on stock ride height?

Supposedly the lower the setting, the better the traction. Although some argue that having the arm at such a steep angle causes handling to suffer if you like to road race/auto-x etc. I've never noticed anything, though I don't really push the car hard either. I'm sure someone can explain further as I don't exactly know the specifics.
Do you launch your car a lot and get wheel hop? If not then you probably don't need the brackets. If you like to rip burnouts on the street and get wheel hop or want better traction at the drag strip then get the brackets. If your like me and just drives the car boring on the street then you definitely don't need them.
i don't drive my car very hard at all, it just seems like my car gets no traction at all when i do get on it tho, thought the brackets would help a little, i'm still not sure whether or not to get them. i think i'm going to put the lca's on first and if i decide to get the relocation i will put them on later down the road.
