Yeah the non adj lca's would be fine. The only real reason for adj is to center the wheel for taller tires

After enduring rattling and noise from rod-end joints AND those new Delrin/spherical adjustable type joints, and not wanting the binding issues from poly bushings, I went with non-adjustable rubber bushed lower control arms from BMR. Happy now.

Relocation brackets are a great investment.

Yep. I have non-adjustable LCAs on my car with the relocation brackets. Great success has resulted.

cool, didn't realize you had non-adj LCA. Didn't want to hassle with the adj. ones. guess I'll order up some BMR ones along with the brackets...how did you set up yours?

It's not hard. There are thorough instructions provided on how to properly set them up. Use the weld-ins if you can.

I used all adjustable everything. Only bushings on the car is trans, engine and front of tq ARM and let me tell you its a PITA. Setup, maintenance, and horrible if DD. Everything on my car is UMI. Overall they are unmatched pieces by far IMO. But my car will only be track and occasional street time. Drag bar, skinnies, and MT aren't really for the street lol.

yep id run for sure the lca relocation brackets......they help out alot if the geometry on the lca's is wrong it will actually push the rear end up into the car on launch instead of down at the pavement.....thats no bueno for traction.......also yes non adjustable LCA's would be fine for you and the next biggest thing is a tubular torq arm with that front relocation bracket......depending on where you bolt it to the bracket you can adjust you're instant center for launch........those are a couple of mods u can make that will not affect the durability or driviability of the car everyday......


as for company my entire car is filled with bmr suspension parts......and i run qa1 coil overs up front and varishock adj shocks out back........id give bmr a call IMO

like stated above the tings that dont like the street are the spherical himme joints and more solid mounted things........i've been driving around on them on the weekends here and there with no issues but they are noisy as hell.......

I noticed you said to get a tubular TA, so it can be bolted on the relo-bracket..the thing is my TA relo bracket doesn't have the holes drilled for adjust ability..the one I have is the one on this web-page...is there a difference?? http://www.lmperformance.com/image.asp?p=umi2209&m=223
