Whats so good about the adjustable ones and the ones that aren't? Just curious as i am looking into buying a set.

adjustable ones as you say, allow you to tweak in the axle for centering it in the wheel well and offer some adjustment for traction issues.

Adjustables units are usually racing pieces and are typically noisier on the street.

I'm also looking into buying a set so for DD the best would be the non-adjustable ones?

with rubber bushings

For DD just buy the moog/1LE replacement bushings and use your existing arms. Incredible difference.

if you go with LCA relocation brackets your gonna need adjustable LCA because it will cause the wheels to not be centered in the wheel wells.

this is true when they use cheap rod ends instead of higher-quality ones....i run UMI poly/rod LCA's on my car, and they aren't any noisier (and actually quieter) than the stock pieces, because the bushings on the stockers were worn out.

also, there are adjustable ones that don't use rod ends at all, and instead, use a screw adjuster in the center of the LCA (i believe certain BMR LCA's are like this), and they won't have the problem with cheap, noisy rod ends either.

i have seen it 2X now. the wheels will be pulled closer to the rear of the wheel wells.

with a lowered car, travel of the lca moves the wheel closer to the front of the wheel well when the lca's are no longer parallel to the ground.
with lca relocation brackets, it moves the lca back to parallel to the ground (again, if the car is lowered) which brings the wheel back to the stock position that is closer to the rear of the wheel well.

any handling benefit to shortening the lca's?

so with a car that is not lowered it will move the wheels to the back of the wheel well?

Yes.

I have UMI non adjustable LCA's and their bolt-in relocation brackets. I have the LCAs in the middle hole of the brackets right now, because I can't put them in the lower hole due to clearance issues with my 27" ET streets. Even in the middle hole, the ET streets rub the back of the wheel well at the top end of the track.

I have adjustables en route.





Here are the UMI adjustables Im installing this week:
