Default 96 cobra - lca relocation bracket

My cobra has Metco UCA and LCA's mounted, however the rear end sits up pretty high and it doesn't seem to squat very well on take off at the strip. Does anyone know if a 96 needs to have LCA relocation brackets in order to maintain the center of gravity and ultimately the weight transfer characteristics? I've read about this for newer mustangs, but haven't been able to find anything or relocation brackets for a '96.

Thanks for the help!

Any help on this one? Someone out there has replaced their lca's and either put a relocation bracket on or not.

Honestly dont see how UCA LCA's can cause the car to sit up HIGH....Springs maybe....Did you change the springs and shocks?
Only reason to Relocate the lower arms is for better Instant centeron the drag strip...
These are the ones I have..


But are mainly used in Mostly Strip applications.....

8banger those arent the only ones where you can change that. look at HPM megabite JR. i had those on my gt and they were awsome i could change it from 115% more traction or the upper ones were 85% more traction which changes the ride height.
