Default Tubular A-Arm install

Brakes are starting to go on the car, so i purchased everything i need to do an LS1 brake swap. Figured while i was at it i might as well swap in the profab Kmember and A arms ive had for a few months.

The A-arms have rod ends, like these:


My question is how do i know how the rod ends should be adjusted? Just measure the stock A-arms and try to adjust them as close to stock length as possible? Also are the rod ends really noisy durring daily driving?

Noise depends on quality of the rod ends, i have some on rear and no noise.
Adjust them as close as possible they'll still need final adjustment on an alighnment rack.
It shouldnt be lower but could be wrong dont have one yet
hope this helps
