Relocation brackets go on the rear end. They slide over the brackets that the lower control arms bolt onto. You can get either weld on brackets or bolt ons, but the weld ons are the safest ones, since there isnt a chance of anything loosening up. The purpose of them is to make the rear connection point of your lower control arm LOWER than the front of it. It is reccomended to get these if you lower you car because when lowering, you screw up the geometry back there and the rear part of the LCA is HIGHER thatn the front part, making them much less effective. I believe I've seen some diagrams floating aroud somewhere that explains exactly why the rear of the LCA needs to be lower than the front, but I'm not exactly sure where they are.

From www.spohn.net
This product is a must for lowered vehicles to correct your suspension geometry. Lowering your vehicle alters the LCA angle putting the rear of the LCA higher than the front of the LCA, this causes massive wheel hop and traction loss.

NON-LOWERED vehicles will also see a dramatic increase in traction by lowering the rearward angle of the LCA with our relocation brackets. The lower mount holes are placed in the arc pattern of the OEM length LCA. Therefore allowing a non-lowered F-Body to drop the rear LCA angle and NOT require a longer than OEM LCA. All geometry is correctly maintained. The anti-squat performance is providing most users with a full .10 or better 60' reduction!
