When going to the tubular LCA's is it necessary to go with the relocation brackets, or is that only necessary when your lowering the car? I would like to drop it down some to reduce the fender gap, but I don't want a low rider. Can't this be accomplished with Eilbach lowering springs? Any advice would be greatly appreciated........

 

The relocation brackets don't lower the car. Some springs will do that. LCA relocation brackets are helpful in a stock height car, dropped car, aftermarket LCA's, stock LCA's, or any combination. With the LCA brackets, the forward 'push' of the axle is used to force the tires down into the pavement. The stock setup pushes the tires up into the wheel well, not good for launching and wheel hop. The brackets will help any thirdgen, lowered cars especially.

 

If you look at the LCA's from the side they are parallel to the ground. When you lower the car they are no longer parallel but slant upwards where they connect to the axle. With the relocation brackets, you are able to retain the correct position of the LCA (back down to parallel).

There are tons of people that have gone with drop springs to improve the ride height. Springs are the cheapest way to do so.
