Default Adj. LCA and UCA?

Going to get a Control Arm package from lethal performance (BMR's Control Arms). Don't know if I should get the package with both upper and lower adjustable CA's, or just get the adjustable UCA. Well I plan to lower the car before the summer and heard I had to have adjustable LCA and UCA's whenever a car is lowered? Also heard that only the UCA had to be adjustable? So what is the truth? Lol I'll be ordering these within the next 2 weeks or so and I needa know.

i'm no expert, but the research i've done says that the uca's are a sufficient but not necessary addition when lowering. i just got done with my suspension (pro-kit, tokicos, xmember, kmember, rear sway, lcas, reloc. brackets, adj. phb & phb brace) and everything feels phenomenal - no ucas needed, tho i might add em in the future.

You only need one adjustable, i have the adjustable BMR upper, IMHO its a pain in the nuts trying to get both lowers to the exact posision.

Is your car lowered though? I'm gettin an adjustagle UCA no matter what, but the only thing is I want to lower the car in the next 2 months approxiamately 1" front and 1.25" rear and I just want to make sure before I buy the LCA's that I don't need adj. LCA's lol. My car gets too squirrely at WOT and can't imagine it with the whipple on

I actually have a procharger d-1sc sittin in my room but its winter here pointless to put it on now, but it handles great, the ride was shi tty with the stock struts n shocks but once i upgraded to the d-specs itsperfect.
