Im deim getting LCA's soon and wanted to know if its neeed to get fixed or adjustable LCA's?

im mainly going to use the cars new found traction in drag racing (still a daily driver) but i want to be able to take the curves when needed.
does the adjustable allow me to set it for autox then drag racing?

any one?

The adjustables allow you to center the wheels in the wheel wells when changes are made to that car (different rearend, lowered car, etc...)

I'd get the adj. ones just in case you ever need them.

Hey, you may be thinking of LCA relocators. You could put them in the normal position for curves and in the lower position for drag racing.

The Rodended LCAs are for this reason:

As the body rolls, the rearend has to stay flat to the ground, this is the reason for the flimsy stock arm.

Now, beef that same arm up, and bolt it up solid. The rearend cant rotate freely in motion, causing a snap oversteer.

With the LCA not in a bind (reason for the Rodend) the rear can move freely, and the car is not going to suprise you with anything out of the norm. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

G2, I do not think he is asking about rod end LCAs.

Consider spending extra $ on the adjustable parts. You will have one more thing to worry about having right. However, adjustable parts are great for ride height adjusted vehicles, and for folks who want a perfect rear end alignment.

At a minimum get the rubber isolators in each end of the LCA. Poly-poly is too stiff.

Good luck.

You may or may not need adjustables, but more often not you will. Once you have them on the car take it to a good alignment shop and have them do a thrust alignment which centers everything up and makes sure the rear tires point straight ahead.

I am sure Louis can explain it a lot better than I.

thanks i was talking about the adjustable lower control arms not the relocation brackets.
