NO. Relocator brackets on a stock car will make the rear handle a bit goofy. Only use them if your car is lowered to correct the LCA geometry. You traction will improve slightly , depends on tires also.

What the hell are you smoking? The stock suspension geometry is crap on the f-bodies. Getting relocation brackets will improve straight line traction because it will relocate the pitch of the rear. So yes, go ahead and get some relocation brackets and LCA's. You will notice an great improvement in traction.

thank you, LimitedEd1LE
thats what i was thinking, it would improve straight line traction, but may cause the car not to corner well.
i dont care about cornering, just straight line performance

It all depends , try it and see how it corners , also what type of tires you have etc.....

it got me to thinking about this thread topic.....
tires want be a problem, i have DR for the street and et streets for the track, instead of wanting more traction, i should start saving for a 12 bolt.....
it may help some, but it definately shouldnt hurt my sixty foot time.....
i will add that to my list of stuff to buy this week.
thanks

like what sjs said above
if your car is not lowered use the upper of the 2 holes. i advise in getting the weld in ones, or atleast welding the bolt on ones
i didn't notice any loss in handling after installing them, mind you i don't drive it like a formula 1 car, but it did help in a straight line

They help very little. Even the people that sell them admit MAYBE .1 in your 60 foot times. And the stock geometry is not crap. Ask any guys that autocross or road race their cars. Most of the guys that are allowed to do it in their class do it for the added strength, reduced weight and more precise location, not because it gives them more traction or anything else. Get a torque arm if you want to play with pinion angle.
Another myth....

And you won't. Not only that, if you lower the rear mounting points too far, high speed handling can be very dangerous. At best you want both front and rear parallel.
They sure do look good though!!!!

Well a tenth on your 60' is at least that in the quarter. As far as a difference goes.....I noticed a HUGE difference in my car. Before my car would wheelhop so bad I thought the rear was gonna come through the trunk. I have never felt wheel hop since. I only spin tires now but thats because they are like 2 years old with 30k on them.
