ok, i prefer adjustable lcas but if you've already ordered the solid lcas it's no biggy. once again, just me, but i don't like extra pieces under my car. I like it as light as possible and easy to fix. instead of the brackets, consider an adj UCA. little more expensive but you'll be able to zero in the pinion angle a litttle better.

You need to see what your lower control arm angle is.If the arms arm level or slightly uphill from the rear to the body you will not need the brackets. You would benefit more from an adjustable upper. If you have any questions please give me a call. Im in the office until 6pm est.

Yes if if youve got the lowering springs you would benifit at least I did (greatly) from the relo brackets it allowed me to set the angle on the LCA right now yours is probably higher at the rear end than it is where it connects to the car. if the angle was down from car to rear end you would seem to get better straight line traction. I guess this is how it works but after I put my suspension on the rear end does a great job sqwatting and going straight, I dont drive any tracks just country road and it hasnt hurt me there either.
this is just my opion but This was money well spent for me.. make sure you do an alignment and weld relocation brackets in place once your there! I use an adj upper for pinion angle adjustment.
good luck and I wish you all the traction youreLooking for.

i dont wanna go suspension crazy but would i be better off to go lcas with the brackets? or go LCAs with no bracket and an adj UCA?Or would it be ok to run the non adj LCAS as long as i get the brackets ?? or do i need adjustbale lCAS no question about it, unless i get a uca. just trying to figure out the best setup for my needs.
