Adjustable or non-adjustable suspension parts?
I am planning on decking out the entire suspension with BMR parts here in a couple months. The car is going to be mostly street use and going to the track maybe twice a month. Should I get adjustable or non-adjustable Torque arm / panhard bar / A-arms etc?

Hello,
It would depend on what mods you currently have and your plans for the car. For example is the vehicle lowered? If not do you plan on it? Is there a aftermarket rear end in the car? If not do you see one in the near future? If yes which rear end?
A torque arm I would always recommend adjustable since it will see the track. This will allow pinion angle changes for the best traction.
If I can help anymore please ask. Thank you!

if you can afford it, there really is no downside to having adjustable pieces. the only reason you might need most of them is if you plan on altering your ride height or really dialing in your suspension (i.e. road racing), but fwiw i've never seen a "should have gone non-adjustable " thread.

Thank you for the interest in our parts. I would definitely go with the adjustable torque arm as well as the adjustable panhard bar. Our lower a arms have an adjustable end on them. As far as the upper a arms go unless you have an all out race car and need to adjust caster the non adjustable version is your best bet. As SS101 stated adjustable parts are a good choice especially for the rear components. If you go with an aftermarket rear adjustable lower control arms are a good choice. When you get ready to place your order give me a call. I'll see what i can do for you.

Thanks for the insight. I do have a 9" Moser rear end and i dont think the car is lowered. So I will prob end up ordering an adjustable torque arm and panhard bar then. A-arms i will get to eventually, but from what i've read is that you should not get adjustable a-arms. Or at least not the upper ones?
