Relocation questions??? Ok, i actually have quite a few questions.
1. I have 3in. exhaust, im ordering a single adjustable panhard rod, do i need to get the relocation for it? Also car is getting DMS springs.
2. Same as above but with the LCA's?
3. I know i said i was getting the adjustable parts because im lowering it and want it to fit exact, what other benefits are there to using adjustable Panhard Rods and LCA's?
4. To finish this all off, i am getting the DMS lowering springs(ordering tomorrow)now i need shocks to go with them. I was thinking of getting QA1 12 way adjustables also. I like being able to adjust stuff, but what are the pros and cons of going adjustable.
5. Any other shock selection ideas out there for the DMS's to go with?
6. Last, are there any other parts like spacers or anything else i need to make the Panhard, LCAS, springs and shocks work correctly?

1) I assume you're talking about the PHR drop kit that UE makes? If so, you don't need it, but its a nice feature for a lowered car. Do a search over at frrax - Jon A did a great write up on it a while back.
2) When lowering the car LCA relocation brackets are a good idea. The intent is to keep your rear LCA's parallel to the ground.
3) Adjustable PHR allows you to center the rear axle when lowering. Adjustable LCA's are a misnomer - the "adjustment" is generally due to the use of Heim joints. 99.5% of the time the "adjustable" LCA's should be set to stock length.
4) Not familiar with DMS springs.
5) Koni SA's are usually a great all-around shock, but $$$.
6) Springs, shocks, LCA relo brackets, adjustable PHR, and an alignment and you should be good to go.

Ok, cool, thanks for all the info fulton. Do you know what are the ups and down of using adjustable shocks and what are some goods brands out there besides Koni and bilstein. Koni's are too expensive and bilsteins arent that great(plus i want adjustable, bilstein doesnt do adjustable).
