do i need relocation brackets for the steeda stop the hop UCAs and LCAs? What exactly does relocation the LCA do? thanks

The more pitch to the lca, the less wheel hop. If you don't lower the car, than you can get by with the non-adj lca & uca. And that will stop the wheel hop! If you plan on lowering the car than go for the adj. lca's & uca. If you have the non-adj. arms and you lower the car, than you will need the relocation bracket. The relocation bracket acts as the adj. lower control arms would do. I hope this helped, If I'm worry about this, than someone will fix it.

BelowisBMR's marketingblurb on a vehicles "Instant Center". Should answer all your questionson LCA relocation brackets. If you are just putting the Steeda stop the hop kit on without lowering the car you do not have to get the relocation brackets. At the stock ride height LCAsrun parallel to the ground. If you lower your car with the relocation brackets the rear of the control arms will point up, effectively pulling the body down and pulling the rear tires up when you accelerate.Relocation brackets (depending on howmuch you lower your car and how many adjustments the relocation brackets have)allow you to run the LCA's on a lowered car parallel to the ground for street/road race applications and pointed toward the ground for the drag race applications. also if you lower your car you will need an adjustable UCA to correct the pinion angle.

A vehicles "Instant Center" determines it's ability to transfer weight properly upon acceleration. The angle of the upper and lower control arms produces an intersect point that initiates this weight transfer. With fixed control arm mounting points, it is not possible to tune this instant center position in the chassis. Our control arm relocation brackets provide additional rear mounting holes that allow you to alter the instant center by varying the control arm angles. This mod is recommended for any type of racing and should also be performed if the vehicle is lowered to correct the rear suspension geometry. Mounting hardware included. Available in Black Hammertone or red powdercoat. NOTE: When using bolt-in brackets, welding is recommended if 60 foot times drop below 1.70.

This sentence above should have read "If you lower your car without the relocation brackets the rear of the control arms will point up, effectively pulling the body down and pulling the rear tires up when you accelerate."
