What are your modding plans? I got the LCA's in non-adjustable version and I'm getting an adjustable UCA, then lowering the car with BMR's lowering package which has relocation brackets in it. I contacted BMR and ask them about what I needed to do for the pinion angle and they rep I talked to said that just using the relocation brackets and an adjustable UCA is fine and will work great!

RE: lca and uca...
i got adj LCAs/UCA for a few reasons:
-gonna add a 1 piece driveshaft at some point, may have to correct pinion angle
-may lower the car eventually, proabably only the rear
-price difference (fixed vs adj) is negligible so why not, adjustability is
If you are getting LCAs/UCA you probably have plans for the car beyond dailey driving
wouldn't you want the option of adjustability?
you never know !!!

i have the billet aluminum lower control arms, adjustable upper control arm with urethane bushings, bmr lowering kit and tokico d specs...wheel hop is non existant and the rear is a lot more solid. You get a MUCH better feel for the roads

RE: lca and uca...
im not lowering the car. But i removed my spare tire, jack stand and changed my rear tires to 375/40/r18. Wont that change the angle?
My goal is to 100% eliminate wheel hop for drag racing( also a DD). Why dont poeple get them both adjustable? Is it not good of an idea?

No tire size is not going to change the pinion angle. I eliminated wheel hop with LCA's. I think the rear springs may have helped some too. I went with adj. since lowering is/was in the plan.

Here's the email from the rep at BMR to me asking him about lowering the car and having NON-adjustable LCA's:
If you lower your car you will need to reset your pinion. You will need to have an adjustableupper arm to set your pinion angle. If you lower onlythe back your handling should not decrease, you do not need adjustable lowers control arms.If ypu have any other questions let me know.
