Do I need control arm relocation brackets for Strange 12-bolt?

im puttin in my STRANGE 12 bolt tomorrow, and the control arm brackets have only one hole available. the car will have eibach sportline springs installed at the same time as well, so it will be lowered quite a bit. do the aftermaket rear ends already have a bracket that is the right spot for lowered cars or do i need a new bracket? any experience with this rear-end?

Thanks,
Ryan

Might want to move this to Drivetrain forum Ryan, you will probably get more responses. Good luck with the install. What gears does the rear have? I am putting in my 4.10's soon.

The Strange LCA mounting bracket is identical to the factory 10-bolt mounting bracket, and located in exactly the same place. If you drop the body with Sportlines, I can't see how you could avoid installing a set of relocation brackets to restore the geometry, and keep the axle end of the LCA below the body end. You could survive without them, but I would expect traction to be "limited".......
