LCAs questions Im thinking of getting LCA's for my car. I'm trying to get my 60ft times down. The best times I can get are 1.7s (usually 1.8s or 1.9s)on ET streets. They dont "hop", I just get a lot of wheel spin. I'm not expecting much help from these but theyre cheap/easy so I'll throw them on. I'm thinking Im gonna go poly/poly because Im not interested in handling, only straight line. Right now Im driving around with no front swaybar so that shows you how much I care about cornering.
My question is about adjustable vs non adjustable. Also if relocation brackets would be beneficial. The car is not lowered and has a moser 12-bolt. Ive read relo-brackets are for lowered cars only? What about adjustability. When would I need to adjust the LCAs and do all you people that have the adjustables use this feature? Since I dont know how to dial in a suspension I would just set them the same length as stock and toss them on, but I bought a non adjustble TA and now regret it because I cant mess with my pinion angle, so Id rather do this right the 1st time. What say you?

Lowereing brackets are the key to getting traction with LCA's they change the geometry of your suspension, and the lower you located the lca on the axle, the harder the suspension will push that tire into the ground

According to the nice people at BMR they told me the adjustables are for centering the rear up or adjusting for larger tires. I bought the adjustable ones b/c they were used and I got them pretty cheap from a member on here.
