LCA relocation bracket ?

I would strongly advise adjustable lca's as the geometry changes and possibility of misalignment will cause ill handling and excessive trie wear. Give us a call... we offer discounts on suspension packages with the highest quality parts.

You will want to spend the extra few bucks now to get the adj. especially if you plan on lowering the car. I had non-adj. for awhile, but then had to get adj. bc the rear was pushed too far back when the car was lowered.

Not planning on lowering the rear so it sounds like I'm ok with non adj. Thanks for the input

You will not need adjustable control arms with relocation brackets, the only time you would need adjustable is if you used a weld on set and maybe they weren't welded in perfect.

I hope that helps,

If you are using bolt-in relocation brackets you can use the non-adjustable lower control arms without any issues. If you are using weld-in relocation brackets you can use non-adjustable lower control arms but the relocation brackets have to be welded in perfectly and that is pretty hard to accomplish. I personally always recommend that our customers use adjustable lower control arms if they are going to be using the weld-in relocation brackets, this will for any adjustments that need to be made to allow the wheel to be centered in the wheel well.
