LCA=lower control arm, a suspension component located in the rear of the car. Here is a pic to give you an idea of where they are specifically and what they look like: http://www.spohn.net/product.cfm?productid=1292

Wrong forum. The "engine tech" forums are only for engine related questions. I'll move this to the "Suspension....." forum for you.

So are relocation brackets a good idea for any ride height or just primarily for lowered cars?

The relocation bracket's, or any other good suspension part really, will help with giving the ability to make adjustments, and that allows you to tune your suspension. It's the adjustability that is the key. Now it is more of a need for a lowered cars since the LCA's change the angle when it is lowered, but if you have loose suspension and launch the car and it squats then technically the rear of the body lowers compaired to the axle that is stationary and possibly causing the LCA angle to go from a negative angle to a positive one...

Since you have a lowerd car you will probaly want the relocation brackets aswell, like a few of them have said.
