Default are LCA relocation brackets a must?

i have a set of BMR lowering springs and i was just wondering if it is a good idea to get a set of LCA relocation brackets? I don't have enough power really to turn over the tires much so i'm not really worried about wheel hop. Just wondering if it would be a good idea to get them?

thanks in advance.

i would think so since you are reengineering all of the angles of the rear suspension.

I would think Panhard a tad more important, but yes, if you're messing with the rear suspension, LCA RBs wouldn't hurt.

UMI?

why the hell wouldn't you do it? it minimizes any traction problems and gets your geometry angles back to normal with a lowered ride

If you want to build the suspension up correctly, then Yes, you need them.

If you dont care, then nope.
