I have a 2002 WS6 with stock suspension.... i am going to buy the complete fbody suspension package from bmr's website. There is an option to get relocation brackets. What exactly do they do? Do i need them??

Thanks

The relocation brackets are usually installed to prevent squating when car is lowered. Brackets reposition your instant center by altering your control arm angle for increased traction and anti-squat. Basically it corrects suspension geometry.

You don't have to have them, although it may help with traction.

Agreed with AOC SS. Some cars they seem to help, others they don't. I'd say try it without first, then if need be, throw a set on. :)
