Adjustable LCA's...What to do when on...

I just received my Adjustable Lower Control Arms...I'm just not 100% on what I actually adjust for what...I mean...if I make it smaller...is there a difference ? Or if I make it longer, what does that do for me...It's street/drag LCA's so I'm thinking if I make it tighter, it'll be more for racing, and if I adjust it to make it longer, will it have more flex for the streets? anyone have these?

I can't really answer your questions, but I've been told to just match them up to your stock length.

If you buy them to adjust to the stock length, then why dont you buy some non-adjustable ones that are at the stock length already?

If you want rod ends you have no choice but to get "adjustable" LCAs...

There is really no reason for adjustment on the control arms. Like Fulton mentioned, the reason for adjustment is only the fact off getting rod ends. If you want rod ends you have to get an "adjustable" version. Set them to the stock length and tighten the jam nuts.

The adjustable panhard bar is used to center the rear end after lowering if needed. If you are not famaliar with this just ask and we will be glad to help.
