LCA relocation brackets on stock height car? I was always under the impression that the control arm relocation brackets were for lowered cars, to put the angle back like it should be, but are some guys using them on stock height (springs) cars? What is the advantage if so?

I'm a dumbass, LCA's don't really have an impact on pinion angle.
Anyway I lowered the rear today with some Eibach springs I had laying around and I think I need to get some relocating brackets now, my LCA's are higher in front than the rear, which is bad.

Putting the LCA's level just pushes the car forward.
Having them lower in the rear helps with getting off the line because it will cause the rear of the car to lift and it pushes the tires down. The down side is that under braking the rear tires will be lifted which hurts the rear braking grip. I think that's why the factory choose to make them level.
Plus, different angles can effect rear axle turn in under heavy cornering and such, but that's a whole other subject.
Most people agree that keeping the LCA's level is the best way to go, unless you are really into drag racing and are not interested in max braking. Then having the rear of the LCA slightly lower might be worth it.
