Default quick question! lower control & relocation brackets

im pretty sure this has been gone threw but very long time ago and i cant seem to find info

my car was dropped with eibach springs and it has lower control arms and relocation brackets. i went back to stock height and my car has always had the wheels pushed back some. im running 28 tall tires so now they are touching the back of the bumper. should i get rid of the the relocation brackets? as there for when you lower your car or what should i do? im not really looking to drop the car again. i don't really like the slammed look. i like the ol'school muscle car stance where the car is stock height.

thanks in advanced

Leave the relocators on it and install a set of adjustable control arms to move the wheelbase where you need it and then you will also have the ability to set the alignment to where it needs to be as well. Give us a call... we have the right parts for you and the best prices!

adjustable lca's, like ssvert said, will allow you to pull the axel forward to where you want it to sit, or you could just get rid or the relocation brackets and put the lca's back to the stock locations, either way you pretty much get the same outcome

Do your relocation brackets have multiple holes in them? (most do) If so, raise the arms to an upper mounting hole, and see if that helps.
