Relocation Brackets... Are They A Necessity?

Stand out lol. Like red.
Just got my CHE brackets. They're pretty hefty.



Not sure why they're a bit crooked, but I'm sure they're formed like that for a reason. I'll find out this weekend when I install them. I'll be trying them with stock lca's first to see how they improve traction. Then I'll add upgraded lca's later.

Furthermore, I'm going to go with the set from Steeda... weld-in!
CHE brackets are finally in along with J&M extreme lca's. I can finally say, yes, brackets are a necessity if you're lowered. The car just dead hooks on my Nitto's now. I can't believe I've went this long without them. If you get the CHE'S, you may need to grind out one of the mounting holes on the passenger side. I had to but it wasn't bad. With my k springs the brackets gave back the correct position to the lca's. Total install took around 3 hours on jack stands with help from my buddy.

I have Ultralites, 1.5 rear 1.25 front, and the stock LCA looks pretty straight. Or is it something you can't really see by eye?

I should have taken before/after pictures, but I'll take a few to show what I'm talking about.

Steeda Relocation Brackets installed today... all done in about 2 hours! I'll admit that I drove like a hooligan to see how she handled. My confidence is coming back in regards to her handling capabilities. The rear feels so much better, even over the big bumps!
And to confirm, yes... they fit along with the Steeda Adjustable Rear Swaybar.
