The relocation brackets are to bring the lca's back to level when you lower your car. When a car is lowered the lca's are at a down angle towards the front, when you give it gas it actually pushes the axle up and you loose traction. The relocation brackets have a few holes, one puts the arm back level like it was factory, the next hole down actually angles the arm down towards the back. From my understanding this allows the axle to be planted harder on the ground during accel and cause more traction on take off. If you leave you stock ride height you really dont need them. They mostly benefit a lowered car, but will provide more traction for any application.

Hope this is not too confusing, it's getting late and I'm not making much sense right now.

 

Got a question. Stock height mustang with relocation brackets. How do you determine the lengthfor the adjustable LCA? Would it still be the same as stock length even though I'll be adding relocation brackets?

I only ask because I do plan on getting adjustable LCA's and thought it would be nice to add even more traction by changing the angle of them with relocation brackets even though I'm staying at stock height for now.

 

The length of the arm has nothing to do with the relocation brackets. The brackets only determine the angle of the arm up or down and do not extend nor retract the arms. All they do is give the arm more of a down angle towards the back or return the arm back to level after a suspension drop.

 

So relocation brackets could theoritically be used with the stock LCA's on a stock height mustang without messing up the pinion angle?

 

yes, i put them on mine to correct the angle of the arm after my suspension drop, not the pinion angle. The relocation bracket does not change the pinion angle at all. The holes are not in a straight line up and down, they are almost at a very minor semi-circle to account for the arm being lowered more. In other words the lowest hole is slightly more towards the front of the car than the top hole is. You could use the factory LCA's with the bracket, just mount them on the lowest hole which should plant the rear end to the ground during accel and give you better traction. Thats the hole point of the brackets, it has nothing to do with pinion angle.

 

Perfect, thanks a million for that explination. I want to buy Adjustable LCA's and relocation brackets but was concerned about figuring out the length of the LCA's. Now I know I can just set them to the exact same length as the stockers even when using the relocation brackeys.
