My friend installed some LCA relocation brackets, and we all agreed the rear end looked like it sat higher. Did anyone else notice that after installing brackets?

Also the "rear hose" mod where it drops the rear looks like it sits a little too low, I'm curious if the brackets raise it a little, and the hose mod drops it a little, how would it look? Has anyone done both of these mods and have pics?

My car does not sit any higher or lower, no matter which of the three holes I put the lca in.

You said it 'Looks' higher... How about you move the lca to the stock hole and measure from the ground to the top lip of the wheel opening. Then put the LCA's in whatever hole in the relocation brackets and measure again.

If it is actually moving the rear end then there is something wrong with the install.

relocation brackets will not make it higher. only springs can change that.

Well, we never knew for a fact, we just thought it "seemed" higher. so i was just checking..

I might still do the hose mod though.

Could have been sitting higher for a bit if you had the load of the vehicle off the rear springs. The springs probably just needed to settle back down...

My UMI bolt in relocation brackets didn't raise the car but did push the rear end towards the rear bumper a bit, but a set of adjustable arms corrected the problem.

LCA Bracket's wont lower or raise the car...did you all happen to take the springs out?
