Default LCA Install - Do I need relocation brackets?

Hey all,

So I am no longer being a lazy sack of **** and finally getting around to throwing in my S60 rearend- I ordered a bunch of other goodies from Midwest Chassis when I did, and when I was under the car, it looks like the double adjustables I picked up can fit right in without the relocation brackets.

Like an idiot, when I moved I lost the hardware to install the relocation brackets- so those will have to wait, but was just curious!

Thanks!

My S60 has 4 holes for LCAs, so I'm not sure what "relocation" brackets buy you with an S60, I think they are useful only for the stock 10-bolt.

I had honestly bought a bunch of **** at different times, and between moves... and in some cases some stuff was lost and mixed up between moves with the car being down. It is entirely possible I bought stuff for the ten-bolt that ended up with everything lol

Is yours a Strange S60 by chance? I am hearing that Strange mounts stuff on the rear housing in some cases, I am also curious on how I am getting my stock sway bar over- I do not seem to have the bolts and I know the U-clamps arent going to transfer over lol

Probably gonna depend on the position of the LCA based on your ride height. If your car is significantly lower than stock you may benefit from "relocating" the attachment point and correcting the LCA angle.
