Not lowering
Im not lowering the vehicle at all. I did not want the rear to get too stiff like someone previously mentioned. I understand that the GT500 arms are not nearly as good as full tubes, but did not want to add any NVH. Launching the car with my new VMP tune is great, really holds on to first gear to let out a loud chirp into 2nd.
I'm considering getting the Roush Upper Mount, if the GT 500 arms don't make enough difference. I don't want to change my ride height I like the ground clearance for $hit roads.

If you aren't lowering all relos will do is screw up your handling and braking. Putting the arm on the lowest hole with relos on an unlowered car will introduce a lot of instability in cornering and braking.
Considering I had GT500 arms factory on my Brembo GT and the wheelhop was crippling, I'd say you're gonna need the upper.
Another option to reduce squat on an unlowered car is something like a Strange 10 way shock for the rear.

At standard ride height, how beneficial are the relocation brackets? I too have bad squating and am not planning on lowering the vehicle anytime soon. I chose not to purchase relocation brackets because I was under the impression it was primarily for lowered vehicles.
Say I purchase the Whiteline relocation brackets what influence does the position I install them at have with the rise/squat/launch? Say I set at the lowest verses the highest?

I think your location was Naples, FL? I can take you for a ride in my car if you'd like to experience performance suspension WITHOUT relo brackets.
