Hey Chaos. UMI components help in two ways on both those parts. Not only are the actual components stronger and less flexible, the bushings/Roto-Joints/rod ends help the suspension move only in the direction intended.
The result is more precise handling, a tighter feel, and more consistent results on the track.
Our sale is still active Monday. Give us a call or email to discuss.

I am running billit control arms with rod end w/umi offset bushings and a UMI rod/rod panhard.
My car is much more predictable in the turns. And got rid of my wheel hop. You will get more road noise through your car with the rod ends. But I don't mind it at all. Well worth it for the better feel the car has when I'm pushing it!

Adjustable lower control arms allow you to fine tune the squareness of the rear in the car. If you run non-adjustables you are at the mercy of the factory tolerance. In most cases, no problem with the non's. With adjustables you can also purposely skew the rear for highly specialized track days (not common but nice if you need it).

We have Cyber Monday pricing through tomorrow night along with a shipping incentive. If, on a drag strip occasion you lack forward bite with non adjustables, LCA relocation brackets will bolt right in.
A positive about the non's is no maintenance rigid awesome suspension components forever.

Don't need the LCAs but, I installed an adjustable PHB because I dropped her with some Strano springs.
The PHB made the back end "predictable" and very compliant in the vertical translation during driving.
This means I am real happy with the PHB and wish I did it a long time ago.
If I did it over with what I know now, I would of gone the Watts link instead of the PHB but it costs 2.5 times more.
