Adjustable LCA benefits?

What are some of the benefits of being able to adjust these? I just bought a set of SJM rod ended LCA's, and was wondering some of the suspension tuning options I have now, car is mainly a drag car on the street and strip.

It lets you center the tires and get the rear perfectly square in the car.

pretty much like stated above, its for when you run a larger tire out back it allows you to center the rear (and tire) inside the wheel well

I thought I needed them for the reasons stated above so i ordered a set of UMI LCA. I also did LCA relocation brackets at the same time. I was able to center up a set of 28" tiresjust fine with a set of non adjustable BMR LCA. I was a little pissed cause the adjustables were more trouble than they were worth. I have a set of new UMI adj. LCA collecting dust now.If you do lca relocation brackets you can weld them up and center the wheel with out adjustables.I did have to spend some time getting my pioin angle right afterwards. I cut low 1.5 60ft. NA and in the 1.4's on spray with stock shocks and springs all the way around

Yes you could do it that way, but that is not correct and could cause you some issues in the future. We always recommend welding relocation brackets in the same location as if they were not there.

I wasn't knocking your product and hope you didn't take my statement the wrong way.I just ordered your T/A cross member and love it. My wheel was pretty much centered before I did anything.What issues could it cause?
