Default Relocation brackets and LCA's?

Right now i have stock LCA's. I'm lowered with LG G2 Super Springs so my angle isn't what you would call perfect. I'm thinking of just gettin the relocation brackets welded in sometime soon to get the lca angle corrected. How much of an improvement would i see at the track? I might get LCAs soon after that.

It's more a matter of stopping the wheel hop than a direct improvement at the track, although the rear end squat reduces traction also. Just exactly how much ET improvement would be hard to predict, but it could be quite a bit if you're getting a lot of wheel hop now.

I would also look around for feedback from others at the same track. There may be someone who ran a before after test, altough I agree it's more of a suspension balance thing than specifically for straight line traction. You want it to rotate through a consistant arc, the more level you can get it the less if will move laterally during compression and rebound. If you are planning on adding aftermarket arms I believe there are quite a few options for weld-in brackets.
