yup it still helps traction wise. any effort to lower to lower the arms helps push the car upward better

Depends on what you want out of your suspension. For drag racing, the relocation brackets allow you to change the suspension geometry for better antisquat.... the lower you drop the axle side of the LCA the more it loads the tires, resulting in better 60' times. Of course, nothing is free, too much LCA angle can induce wheel hop on braking and may give the car a "loose" feeling.

If it's just for drag racing they are an inexpensive mod that can help and you can level out the LCA's for regular driving, autocross, and road racing. Of course if you ever plan on autocrossing or the like I do think LCA brackets change the car's class.

Thank you for the responses. Sorry, i forgot to add that in there, it is a drag / street suspension with a pention towards drag. So i would want to lower the axle side of the control arm. Where do the brackets go (rear end or body). Thanks again, prorac1
