Default LCAs: What's better for Drag?

I know that adjustable LCAs and pan hard bar are better all around, but is it better to have non adjustable for drag?

It depends what you want to do with the car. Since it is a drag car I assume you have or will change the rear end in the car? If so any time a after market rear end is placed in the vehicle we highly recommend adjustable components to help keep the rear end centered and to allow adjustments. Also if you plan on running a larger tire adjustable control arms and a panhard bar may be needed for the correct clearance. The control arms will allow you to move the rear end back or forward while the panhard bar allows it to moved side to side. This is very handy for those larger tires. Also items will solid bushings will perform better at the track.

Here is a few items I would recommend for a drag car, they are also very streetable.

Control Arms- www.umiperformance.com/2017

Control Arms with off-set Bushings- www.umiperformance.com/2017OF

Panhard Bar- www.umiperformance.com/2023

Control Arm/Panhard Bar Kit- www.umiperformance.com/201723

If you have any questions please ask and I will be glad to help. Thank you!

If it is a drag car, go with adjustable LCA and PHB. I would also suggest rod end components. We have everything you need.
