You only need relocation brackets if wheel hop persists after you lower the car. Some cars need them some cars don't.

I'm with Lee... some cars do, some cars don't. And, FWIW it's nice to see another vendor stepping up and tellin' it like it is.... 
They are far from a requirement, and why buy something you don't need you know. If you have hop issues then they are get put on the list of possible cures.
That said.... Pro-kits geneally lower more than 1.2" (and there are two different Pro-kits one could use). And if you are trying this with stock shocks you're going to be in a world of hurt to begin with. And shocks do also contribute to having or not having wheel-hop. The compression damping helps control unsprung weight (the axle) and the rebound damping the spring rate and body movement in relation to the axle.

Used BMR bolt-ins, can't install them wrong and you can
get back what you paid.
If your LCAs are parallel to the ground you have a fairly
neutral setup. If the front is lower than the rear then you
have the geometry problem that LCA relocation is meant
to correct. If the front is higher than the rear you probably
do not need relocation. A neutral geometry car might still
see improvement in initial bite from relocation, if it's worth
the price of experimentation.
