You dont need relocation brackets. You can bolt the LCAs onto the stock mounting loacation. The brackets will change the geometry of the lcas and will give you a bit more traction. They work well as a combo.

adj. lca's are not necesary on bascially stock car...

the LCA will allow more weight to be placed on the rear during launch enabling better traction.

they work good in pairs.

My car is a 2000 SS M6 with Spec stage 3 clutch, couple basic bolt ons, full exhaust with LT's, it's also lowered like about 1", also got the air bags, and I'm in process of ordering a 9" rearend, cuz I broke my stock 10 bolt couple days ago. last time I dynoed my car it pulled 334 rwhp with 336 tq. So what do I need to do with my suspension???
I got a spohn rear sway bar waiting to be installed, so what else do I need???

Ok, I'm getting LCA's non-adjustable ones but with relocation brackets,
I got the sway bar with installation kit for 9" rearend, and the adjustable panhard bar, and I'll also get the Sub frame connectors and a torque arm if I'll have some money left after ordering the 9". or is it very important to install them "SFC's and the Torque Arm" while swapping the rearend???
I just want my rear suspension and the whole rearend to be done right, so I don't have to re-do it again.

It's allready installed on the vehicle, now my only problem is with SFC's and Torque arm would it be ok if I'll install them later or will I save some money by doing it together with 9" rearend swap and LCA's??? or maybe I don't need SFC's and aftermarket torque arm at all will the stock one be fine?????

I am pretty sure you can reuse the stock torque arm it would be good to replace it but its optional. I would definetly get SFC.

thanks for your help guys, That's what I'll do than, I'll just get the SFC's and if I'll have some extra cash than I'll get it too.
Which SFC's are the best and not too expensive???
