Suspension questions I'm having trouble finding out if the adjustable LCA's require the relocation brackets. I do not have access to a welder and that seems to be all that I can find. Am I retarded, looking in the wrong places, or just retarded? Are the diameter of the LCA smaller than stock? The reason I ask this is because the lca are really close to my tires. Someone please enlighten me on the LCA's please.
Does the panhard bar center up the rear? or what the hell does it do? And there is another bar that meets with the panhard bar, what is that? I'm not to keen on suspension.
What torque arm setup would clear my TSP true duals that is not mounted to the trans?

Adjustable LCA's do not require the installation/use of relocation brackets.
If you are having clearance issues between the side of the LCA's and the tire(s), is it on both sides of the car? Or just one side? If it's only on one side, then yes, the diff requires to be centered in the car, but you'd have to have an adjustable panhard bar to do so (do you have an adjustable PHB??)
The other bar that is mounted above the panhard bar is just a brace for strength. It isn't an adjustable piece.

Currently the only aftermarket suspension product that I have is subframe connectors if thats even considered suspension. It rubbed pretty bad on the driver side and a little on the passenger side. I beat the crap out of where it was rubbing and now there seems to be sufficient clearance. Having said that, there is probably 3/8 of an inch clearance in between the tire and the lca on both sides.
Check out UMIPerformance.com. They have bolt in relocation brackets for our cars. They only move the rear mounting point down, not in for more clearance.
Relocation brackets are NOT required for adjustable LCAs like was stated before. Yes the tubular LCAs are smaller in diameter than the stock LCAs, so you should have quite a bit more room. If you need even more room, pick up a set of rod/rod LCAs and offset bushings. That will move the LCA further away from the tire.
UMI also has a torque arm relocation bracket that takes the TA mount off the trans. That may work with your true duals, but im sure someone can chime in on that.
