Default Upper and Lower control arms

Does it make a huge difference if your upper and lower control arms are adjustable or not??

If you plan on doing alot of drag racing yes. You want to have your pinion angle set correctly to help your 60' times. I bought non adjustable ones cuz I wasn't planning on racing too often and no I will be going adjustable! I hate buying things twice!![:@]

Make sure you know before hand and buy one time

If you're not racing much, it doesn't make a huge difference I'd guess. They really stiffened up my rear end along with the FRPP C springs, get what you want.

I just put non adjustables on mine. From what I understand anything is better than stock. I really dont notice any difference but I havent been able to take it to the track since its closed until next spring.
