Stock Height, Adjustable or Non LCAs? I’ve been looking into getting some new LCAs and was curious if there’s any advantage to getting adjustable ones for a vehicle that’s at stock height? I have no intent of lowering the car, and from what I’ve read the only benefit of adjustable LCAs is to change the gap between the wheel and the fender, but I don’t think that’s much of a problem at stock height.
Also, I was curious about the ends. I know you can get them solid or with poly mounts. Which is better to go with? I only drive the car 2k per year, so ride quality isn’t the biggest issue,b ut I don’t want it to suffer too much. I was also curious how often you have to grease them.
Thanks guys.

The only time you usually NEED adjustable LCA's is if you install an aftermarket rear or are installing big wheel/tire combo's that require re-centering. Otherwise, even if you're lowering the vehicle, non-adjustables are just fine.
As far as the ends, if you don't care tooooo much about your ride quality I would go with roto-joint ends from UMI. They're quieter than rod-ends, allow for full suspension articulation, and seem to be very streetable while offering good performance.

Get the adjustables just to plan ahead. I'm stock ride height still and thought I'd never have other tires than my 17 x 9 salad shooters. Now I have a street/strip setup with 325/50/15s and I am glad I had the adjustable pieces to help move the rear end around.
