Do I Need Adjustable Lower Control Arms?

Hello. I am looking to buy some control arms and relocation brackets for my 98 Z28. I have a Moser 12 bolt and my car is lowered. Do I need the adjustable lca? If so what are the specs for adjusting them? What does it accomplish? Thanks for your time.

the adjustable LCA's are for centering the wheel in the wheel well front to back, wouldnt be a bad idea with a new rear, being that you're lowered it will help as well as an adj. PHR

Well right now I have the SLP boxed lca with poly bushings. I also have a single adjustable panhard rod from RaceTech? Everything is centered pretty well. The parts were on the car when I got it. Are these parts that I have any good? I was looking to upgrade.

poly bushing have a slight tendency to bind up some but they do alright, rod ended control arms are ideal. the set up will work tho

94z28L nailed it, though. Adjustability is a by-product of using a solid bushing component.

Just because you painstakingly measure and get the rear wheel perfectly centered in the wheel well, doesn't mean the car is tracking straight and square.
