i've heard that when it comes to suspension: "if there is an adjustable option, get it cuz you'll just end up buying it later anyways" i can't remember who told me that, but it makes sense.

I bought adj. control arms because I plan on buying a 9" in the future and I have been told you are better off with adj. controls arms with an aftermarket rear.

Hello,
What we recommend is Adjustable control arms when someone is going to be using a Moser Rear. Moser's housing's are wider and that off sets the factory locations. So going with the adjustable arms allows you to use recenter the rear and eliminate binding problems. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be glad to help!
Thanks
Brad

Im one of those that bought Non -adj rear componets ,,,,while i have had no issues with my non adj pan hard (no settings, im stock ride, etc), i did install a moser 12 bolt,,now my rear Thrust Angle is out by .36, cause of the reasons mentioned by Brad in post #6 ,,, only way to fix is to get the adjustable control arms.

Just wish they wernt a $200.00 item

I have all non-adjustable UMI stuff. It all works good enough to cut high 1.6x 60's when I was just cam-only and full weight. I sort of wish I would have gotten adjustable since I one day want to do a crazy 396 N/A setup but money was tight at the time.
