Relocating brackets?

I have subframe connectors and rear LCA (BMR flavor) and I am anticipating some major traction problems( ordered a 3200 vigalante yesterday), what about these relocating brackets for the rear LCA, do they work well and how do they work and what do they do exactly, will they work with my existing LCA Thanks a ton for your help, its greatly appreciated

They work by putting the rear lca mount lower than the front so when you accelerate and the rear axle tries to push forward, it pushes downward and gives you more traction.

No, not really. I could still spin em really easy with stock size tires. On a higher hp car with bigger, stickier tires it may be mopre beneficial.
But I'm considering lowering springs before too long and I think they are a necessity for a lowered car.

With the converter, I'd look into getting some stickier tires. The best suspension in the world does no good, if you got no bite.

The relocation brackets lower the rear mounting hole on the axle. By doing this, it prevents the LCA from becoming parallel w/ the ground under launch, which will cause wheelhop.

If you get a torque arm it should help you out some on straight line traction.
