Adj LCAs or relocation brackets?

Re: Adj LCAs or relocation brackets?
as far as i know there is usually no such thing whether LCAs or reloc brackets, those work together, work really well with lowered cars (make sure someone who knows what he is doing do the install for you, i'm still having royal pain in my *** with rear end alignment).

1) LCA relocation brackets - to correct the LCA geometry on lowered cars. They are installed perpendicular to the ground so the f/r location of the axle is not affected when using the lower holes with factory length LCAs
2) ALCAs - for drag racing setups, adjustable rod ended LCAs allow the axle to be moved f/r for best clearance for taller slicks, especially if you are using the lower holes on your LCA relocation brackets to provide anti-squat (trading off for cornering stability).
3) Adjustable torque arm - different ones allow for relocation of the forward pivot point and adjustment of the pinion angle. The LCAs and brackets have no effect on pinion angle.
