relocation bracket?

I am planning on putting a TH400 in my GTA with the spohn kit and I want to run LCA relocation brackets. If I do will I have to have adjustable LCAs or can I just run fixed length. Thanks for the input.

Fixed length is fine.

Thanks. I was hoping they were. I plan on setting the pinion angle to -2 degrees and experimenting from there.

1. An adjustable torque arm is needed to adjust the pinion angle. 2. An adjustable LCA centers the wheel in the wheel arch.
3. Not asked, but an adjustable PHB centers the rear end side-to-side.

If you lower the car you'll need #1 & #3, not #2.

Thanks lon. I am not planning on lowering it. I am just going to run drag shocks/struts and launcg springs. If anyone has a suggestion of what brands let me know. Thanks
