Lower Controll Arms

Lower Controll Arms
I'm going to be getting a set of lower controll to start helping to improve my 60ft at the track. My question is that I see a bunch of companies offering an adjustable and a non adjustable oem replacement, just better built. I plan on lowering my car with a set of springs in the future, but I don't know if this means that I need the adjustable controll arms or not. I'm not real concerned with being able to "dial in " my suspension just for drag racing, as this is still my daily driver car. But if I need these to correctly lower my car, please let me know.

In my opion if this is still going to be your daily driver, You can use the adjustable, but stay with the type with the poly ends. The rod end type I believe will be more of a headach due to having to keep them clean and lubricated. Thats my opion but I could be wrong.

You will need to use an adjustable panhard bar to recenter the rearend after you lower the car. The adjustable LCA's won't be necessary. As 05rouscher pointed out, stick with the flexible poly ends for a daily driver. I have the full race versions and they transfer more noise from the rear end and suspension. They definately hook up better, but you won't like the noise.

Measure you rear end before and after you drop it. I had 1/16th of an inch of lateral movement after the drop. I had no need for an adjustable sway bar. Not saying you won't need it, but just too take measurements.
