Relocation bracket question Since I installed my relocation brackets a few year back, I noticed that my wheels appear to be off center in respect to the wheel arch. They appear to be around 1-1.5" towards the back of the car.
I read somewhere that the relocation brackets are for lowered cars(mine isn't), so would it be necessary for me to install adjustable lca's to fix this problem?

Thanks for the reply. Now I just have to decide whether the relocation brackets were worth anything and should I invest in another set of lca's. If not, I may just have to remove them and go back to the stock setup.
its up to you but they are for lowered cars like mine to correct suspension geometry, so technically you do not need them, but if you drop it 1" to 1.5" you will need them and the car will have a good stance.
i read a lot of people having this issue when installing the relocation brackets. I also had this issue with the wheel not being centered but it was easily fixed with my adjustable LCA's. An alignment wont do crap in the rear since nothing is adjustable(assuming everything is stock)
lowering the car changes the angle of the LCAs, causing a loss of traction and wheel hop (for me anyway).
relocation brackets correct the LCA angles and gain the traction back and get rid of the wheel hop (for me anyway).
some people might argue that they don't help, for me they did wonders.

Our relocation brackets holes are cut on an arch so your wheelbase should not be altered. They do help with wheel hop and are needed to correct your lca geometry.
The brackets allow you to lower the rear of the lower control arm allowing you to move your instant center of your car rearward. Each car is different and your driving style and the end result you are looking for will dictate which hole is best for your car. If you have any questions please give me a call.
