Do I still need relo brackets

Here's the thing, I had the car lowered and crushed everything underneath. I had the relo brackets and LCA's put in at the same time in am attempt to eliminate wheel hop. But now the car is back to it's original height but one relo bracket was welded too far back and now the right rear spring hits the inside of the body protector during driving. So I am wanting to remove them so I can put the car back to it's original shape. Do I still need relo brackets???

Re: Do I still need relo brackets

Well, you definitely need to remove the brackets if they are not welded on with the exact same orientation to each other. You already see the results of improperly mounted brackets. I have the Spohn welded brackets and have seen no improvement over my best previous 60'. This may be because I'm now hitting the BFG DRs harder than before and overpowering them. I ran the car for almost 10 years without the brackets, so I would say that they are not needed on a non-lowered car. Some cars respond well to them...I'm still "on the fence" about them myself...

Re: Do I still need relo brackets

Thanks, after really looking at them yesterday on the lift the only things I am interested in is the LCA's for traction and the torque control arm with the proper pinion angle. Otherwise, I agree I don't think they are necessary.
