Default Bought my car lowered couple of questions?

I bought my 02 WS6 already lowered with Strano springs and Bilstein shocks.

Car is for street use only has 430hp with an M6 and stock diff.
Looking at LCA's and PHB just as an upgrade. Do I need any adjustability or get non-adjustable upgrades. Thanks.

If it was lowered right it should already have those on it.

UMI: Poly/Roto-Joint On Car Adj PHB would be my choice.
UMI: Poly/Roto-Joint Non-Adj LCA's would be my choice.
UMI: Lower Control Arm Relo-Brackets as an option.

Only if the former owner did them

That's what I meant. I would go with adjustable panhard, but just plain tubular control arms. Unless you plan on running a big tire or something. Non-adjustable control arms should work fine.

I plan on running stock tires.
I'm going to crawl underneath the car when I get home but I think the LCA and panhard bar are still stock.

Adj. PHB and non-adj. LCA's if you plan on keeping the tire stock and everything. I went w/ Adj. everything, just for the fact that if it does need adjusted, I can.

You'll want an adjustable panhard bar. You won't need lower control arms, but if you would like to be able to adjust the position of the rearened, they are a necessary evil. What are you looking to use the car for? There are certain arm designs better than others for certain applications.

I checked and the car does have aftermarket lca and phb but non-adjustable.no relocation brackets. Car will be just for street use with the occasional rip now and then.

I would recommend selling that non-adjustable PHB in favor of an adjustable one like our PHR002 so you can center up the rear end. LCA relocation brackets also wouldn't be a bad idea because they will allow you to adjust the angle of the lower control arm which give you the ability to add some positive anti-squat to the car and give it better straight line performance and traction. If you did end up doing the rlocation brackets I would recommend our bolt-in ones CAB002 unless you have an aftermarket rear end in which case you would need the weld-in ones CAB001.

If you have no problems with your launch, stock LCA's work great. LCA's are one of the most overhyped part everyone with an LS1 loves to jump on

I checked my rear for center and it's bang on.
I think I will order some relocation brackets for the lca's though.Thanks everyone.
