Lca relocation brackets and stock ride height
Hey, I just purchased a 2000 SS m6 and the previous owned had relocation brackets installed but didn't lower it or get adjustable lca's. So i have two questions with this:
1. Is this install to help with wheel hop?
2. Is this going to change pinion angle or anything bad for the rear of the car?
thanks for the info.

The relocation brackets will help with wheel hop for sure but iff I were you I would think about getting a good set of tubular lower control arms to use in conjunction with the relocation brackets. There will not be any issues using the relocation brackets on your car. The lower you mount the rear point on the rear end the more anti-squat it will put into the car and the harder it will hit the tire.

The relocation brackets should enhance forward traction as Kyle mentioned. Wheel hop tends to go away as we add stronger trailing arms and better bushing technology.
Pinion angle doesn't change and ride height. The holes in the relocation brackets are in the natural arc of the lower trailing arm. Simply plug and play.

Generally, I suggest the bottom hole first for the potential performance advantage if the customer is on a drag radial or slick. If you're on a street tire, the angle may be too extreme and you'll have to dial it back to the first hole. So lower isn't always better...but it usually is. haha

relocation brackets don't change shock position or angle,relos don't change spring position or pressure,stock 'ride' will not change. the center holes will neutralize the factory's 'traction lessening' angle of the LCA. the lowest hole will increase 'forward' traction,not only for 'dig racing' but also for normal traffic driving. wet weather forward traction will increase. the 'new angle of the LCA uses the rearend housing rotation(opposite rotation direction of the tires) to upply upward pressure against the frame/body which in turn applies downward pressure on the tires.

Many people don't realize what a difference a good set of lower control arms and lower control arm relocation brackets will do for straight line performance and traction. These two parts should be at the top everyone's list who wants to drag race.

Ronny we are glad you are happy with your BMR lower control arm relocation brackets!

installing my relocation brackets
Lots of good info on this thread. Hate to jump in on such an old thread, but I have a couple of questions. I have BMR LCAs and 1 1/4" lowering springs. Also rollin with the s60 with 4.10 gears. I hear relocation brackets will give better traction to a stock ride height car, but what about mine since it's dropped? Do I use the bottom hole? Or go back with the stock springs? My car is sitting kinda low, especially since i just installed an electric cutout right on the point before the pipe goes up and curves over the axle. Thanks for any info.

What exactly is the the point of adjustable LCA's? From what it sounds like in this thread, the LCA's don't affect wheel hop or traction as long as their set in the bottom hole.
The reason I ask, is I have:
QP 9" rear
BMR adj torque arm,
BMR LCA's,
BMR 1.25 lowering springs
BMR panhard bar
NEW Belstein shocks in rear
NEW Richmond 3.89 ring and pinion with a Eaton Truetrac
I snap a housing cap which ruined my last ring and ping so I got new shocks. Wheel hop was solved on the street, but as soon as i took it to the track...wheel hop again and I destroyed my deroit locker. Tonight I'll be putting my True trac in and I don't know what else to try. My pinion angle is set at -2.5 degrees. Is there any reason to adjust the LCA's? Any other ideas? THanks

Adjustable LCAs are to help recenter the wheels front/rear in the wheel well, and to adjust thrust angle (the direction the axle pushes the car forward at). Most of the time they aren't needed, but if you're trying to stuff a really tall drag tire in there, or you have some aftermarket axle setup that doesn't quite mount in the same position as the stock axle you can use the adjustable LCAs to get things back in check.
