Adjustable type is the only way to goespecially since I assume you'll be lowering your car for handling purposes. It'll help control axlebind and willhelp withunwanted axlearticulation.Solid LCA's will provide a more solid feel although some find it "harsh". However forauto-x you may find that polylower control arms are too mild and in mostcases are just agoodstockreplacement.

Solid/poly upper control arms are great for controlling that "tail-wag" feel that you might have if you've ever taken a bumpycorner under power. Since you can get the pair for 199.99 from UPR I would highly recommend looking into the pair since you'll be under there replacing them anyways.

i bought the uprupper and lower control arms and it made a big diffrence to me. the rear end had very little if any wheel hop on a hard take off and carving corners was alot better!! it felt tighter to the road. the one thing i didnt like was with the new arms in the backyou could feel the diffrence in the front it feels looser now but a k member is on the books for that problem. to make a long story short its the best 209.99 i have ever spent.

idk. we'll see if my tires are good once the warm weather comes.. when it was 60 degrees i took my car from5mph in 1st and mashed the gas and didnt spin at all. so i guess warm weather plus tokico shocks/struts = good?? idk

to the OP: sorry for stealing this thread
