are these LCA's a good purchase?
I saw that they are adjustable, if i end up buying them how would i set them up so that they are the same as the stockers? To be honest im not sure on how to set pinion angle and wouldnt want to screw up my newer rear. once i put the 275's on the back it eliminated excessive wheel spin, but now im getting the chirp, chirp, chirp of wheel hop, saw these were on sale so i figured i would check them out. Heres the link http://www.summitracing.com/parts/UP...B/?image=large please drop your 2cents.

Well if you're set on buying these ones, simply measure the distance between the stock control arm bolt holes and set these to the exact same distance. That way your pinion angle will be the same and you will benefit from the stronger bushings which will prevent wheel hop.

i have them but havent installed them yet. ive heard people critism that the spherical ends are on the wrong end, but idk. this of course was after i bought them. if you do buy them while summit has them on sale i'd look into the kit that has uppers and lowers. if i could do it over again id go with a team z

lol you hit the nail on the head. I looked at them to and though shouldnt the spherical end be on the other side? Actually that was a deciding point for the reason of not buying them. I have been looking into the J&M and Maximum Motorsports sets.

I run these and like them.
You don't want the spherical end going into the torque boxes, that provides zero give and will help rip out the torque boxes.
Look at other sets, like MM, they have the spherical end going to the rear and poly into the torque boxes. See below:

thats the ones i was alson looking at, mind if i ask where you got them americanmuscle.com wants 250.00 for them maybe they are available somewhere else a littler cheaper, if anyone knows where let me know. When you put them on did you have any trouble bolting the rear sway bar up, or did everything line up pretty good?
