Default LCA Relocation Bracket Question?

Stock ride height
Edelbrock Adj. Panhard Bar

Get them, under $100 bucks, improve traction, less wheel hop, and it does not affect your handling for everyday or race use. I went with BMR bolt ins and they are awsome.

Cool, thanks. I'm going to use the brackets that come with the Metco kit.

I'd say no you don't for a stock ride height car. When you put them on, try going around a corner fast and see what happens (hint, your rear is going to slide out much easier).

Not to high jack. When mounting on a 1" lowered car. Which hole should I use? Upper or Lower

I have the BMR bolt-in relocation brackets, they got rid of wheel hop.

When you put them on, try going around a corner fast and see what happens (hint, your rear is going to slide out much easier).
I have not felt anything like this.

Which hole should I use? Upper or Lower
I have mine on the lowest hole.

I haven't installed my BMR bolt-ons yet, but I was under the impression that you should use the hole that situates the LCAs as close to parallel as possible. Is this correct?

I spoke to some friends and that is what I was told. As close to parralell as possible. I purchased J&M from Hotparts for $82.00 delivered and they are beautiful. If they had BMR on them you would not know the differance other than havin $40 bucks in your pocket.
