You don't need relo brackets unless your a hardcore drag racer. I have them, but wish i didn't. Lowering the car without "correcting" the suspension geometry back to stock actually improves cornering and aids in prevention of roll steer. You will need shocks that can compensate for the drop. The only ones on the market you should consider at this point is Koni SAs. Call Sam Strano, a sponsor of the site. Expect to pay about 7 or 8 bills for the shocks and pick up an adjustable panhard bar to recenter the rear end after the drop.
