Don't hesitate to go with UMI they are great. I have their lca's, torque arm, subframe connectors, and panhard rod waiting to be installed.

should i buy the single adjustable or dual? this is not an all out drag car. basically i drive it to the track and to shows, and once a week for a cruise. will the single adjustable work for me or do i need dual?

I have the UMI single adj with rod ends. If its a street car I would get the poly ends. The rod ends make some extra noise.

if you dont mind your suspension making noise go ahead and get the double adj. The best bet would be single adjustable for your purposes. Double adjustable is overkill and rod/poly ends will be more friendly than rod/rod ends

i placed an order on the umi package deal with the single adjustable lcas and panhard bar, and a set of weld in relocation brackets for the moser rear. hopefully my traction problems will be gone. now that i have placed the order i have people emailing me to buy their parts. sorry about 3 hours to late.
