I know the general answer is a resounding YES! But I'm not sure.

See, at the moment my car has been RAISED in the rear (due to much taller tyres than stock) and dropped in the front 1.5".



Now this in itself gave me huge traction gains after lowering the front. So my question is does my new geometry mean that LCA lowering brackets would actually be TOO low and cause more problems than they'd solve?

Thoughts?

 

If your LCA are uphill going towards the rear of the car, then you need relo brackets for certain. But you don't have that. Using relo brackets can get additional bite so they're not a poor idea. I wouldn't bother, based on the first sentence, but would consider reinforced LCA a step to take before adding relo brackets.

Just remember to install the holes (usually 2 sets of holes in addition to stock) in an arc so that relocating the arm to a lower position does not change rear axle position. Installing them straight up and down is for lemmings.
