Question Control arm install.

I recently purchased some LG Motorsports adj. lower control arms for my 1998 Z28 and was wondering if I could get some advice on where to initially set them up at. How far out should I go? Also any install tips would be great.

Thanks for your helps as always.

Not sure if this is common practice on an f-body...but anytime I mess with adjustable control arms, I usually set them up to stock length and put them on. Good starting point for making adjustments. Shake em down a bit... Then do some fine tuning with them. Ive only ever put them on Jeeps before...so the results you are looking for might be different.

I set mine as close as I could to stock length, and had them fine tune my thrust angle the next time I took the car in for an alignment.
