You do not need them at all. However we have found them to be a very inexpensive traction device on stock height bars. So work like a lift bar forces the tires harder into the ground.
We offer a bolt on version and weld in version. If you have any questions please ask.

if you are lowered you need them, that is a must, whom ever is telling you you don't need them doesn't have a clue on how the supension geometry works. Get a set

I say get them I have BMR weld ons. Stock springs, QA1, and BMR LCA before i put them on the car would lanch and set the quaters on the tires, after installing them it lanches better and doesn't hit but I still need to work on the suspension setup some.

They are not a *needed* item, you can lower your car and drive it with out them and the car will drive just fine.
However lowering the vehicle changes the geometry of the suspension and installing a set of the brackets will correct this suspension change. They allow you to the lower the vehicle but still keep the correct control arm angle as if it was not lowered.
If you experience traction loss after lowering the vehicle then a set of these will be very helpful.
On stock height vehicles they work as a lift bar and push the tires harder into the ground.
Since the brackets have two settings and at any time the control arm can be installed into the factory location I recommend them. They are less then a $100 and are a inexpensive item to have.

One thing about sams setup is though that he autox and doesn't do the 1/4
Sam knows his **** for sure and I'll be getting hid bars and springs too but I'll be doing the lca brackets myself. Like UMI said, for the price why not. Especially if ordering a new rear!

We manufacture a weld-in relocation bracket and a bolt-in relocation bracket. Here's a link to the products that we offer for your vehicle:
http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-bodyDrivetrain.htm
Although several suspension companies offer LCA brackets, BMR has the only brackets that have been track tested on 7-second and 8-second drag cars. If the BMR brackets can survive a 1500+ horsepower launch, you can be certain that they will hold-up on your daily driver.

sorry if I sounded like an ***, I have just seen so many people say that they are not needed, well you are right they aren't needed if you never want to hook up.... and actually they will help out the wheels spinning on the street, I swear by them, and if you plan on going to the track at all you need to get a set, they are to cheap not to. get the bolt in ones there is no gues works and no need to weld. Just my 2 cents. This is coming from a guy that has a lowerd 6sp car they do work
We have them in stock ready to ship....

They completely solved the wheel-hop problem in my non-lowered car. The rear attachment point of my LCA was an inch and a half higher than the front attachment point. I can only imagine what kind of mess that would be in a lowered car.
