relocation brackests, for lowered cars only?

Some one told me that relocation brackets are more for lowered cars. I know that the adjustable LCA's and panhard bars is mor for that, but i was gonna get a set of non adjustable LCA's and PH bar. I am not set on lowering the car, actually it has a nice rake in the rear, but i would like to try other methods of traction control. Would the brackets help any?

They work great on non lowered cars. Lowered cars almost require them.

Right... in stock condition the geometry is not very good, but lowering sends it into the ozone.

My car is at stock height but I have lowering brackets, set at about 2" below stock. The car hooks up much better now.

Found this on Spohn's website;

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!

Hope this helps!
