You don't have to have them but it they are recomended for any lowered car. Once you put the springs on you will see why, your lca's with be almost perfectly level which is not the best postion for performance.

very true. after i lowered my car, i didnt put on the brackets and it felt like the car had no traction. after the brackets, it was perfect. I also have 19s on my car, so that makes them more helpful. some ppl need them, others dont. for me, i definitely needed them.

short answer? get them

they're cheap enough, and they can only cause an improvement, so why would you not get them?

and you can always just get bolt-in brackets to try it with & without them....if you feel that you don't need them, turn around and sell them to someone else that wants them.

if you feel that you do need them, you can take your car somewhere and get them permanently welded in.

Not needed if you are ok with a bit less traction.

Level LCA = ok traction and handling
LCA angled up to axle = best handling and feel
LCA anngled up to body = most traction, worst/dangerous handling
