Relocation brackets or not?

My car is stock height and I have just purchased soemLCA's and a Panhard bar and I am undicieded on weather to get the relocation brackets or not because from what i have read on J&M products website they say its a must on lowered cars, my car is stock height and I don't plan on lowering it either, so will the brackets still help my traction issues? or are they a waste of $$ for my non lowered car?

Thanks.

They will still help at stock height. If it is a street only car I see no need for them, but they help at the track.

Why the strip and not the street?
Is there a side affect by using these on a daily driver used on the street. I have some but I have not installed them.

I spoke to Brian at www.hotpart.com earlier today and he said that in some cases the cornering ability of the car can be very slightly hindered because of thechange in angle of the control arm once the bracket is installed but it is nothing serious and will still handle fine on the street and help you hook up better on the street and strip.

I ordered mine earlier today. I will let you guys know what happens when I get them on and what I expirience with them first hand.

I just got them installed... no difference in cornering. A bit better traction but not what I expected... I also installed LCAs and new bilstein shocks I need to go to the track and see if my 60ft improved...

Bilstein shocks may hurt your 60' a little since they aren't the best for weight transfer. Good luck though. I picked up a couple tenths in my 60' with LCA and brackets.
