Welcome to the group. I'm a recent joiner myself and have learned a lot.

For the experts, i.e. not me,to be able to offer guidance they will need to know what your objectives are for the car and if you have any other mods planned, e.g. lowering the car.

No reloc kits needed, especially if you're not lowered. If you're lowering over 1", then it would be a good mod to do.

You might want to look at the ones from CHE. They have a retainer to hold the e-brake cable and have permanent lube bushings that don't use grease fittings.

I am planning to lower the car sometime in the future whenever i get the money to get new rims and tires. The car is my DD in the summer and i dont need a hardcore handling car cause i dont go to the track all that often.

When you say "track" are you talking about the good kind, with corners that go left and right, or the other kind, that only goes in a straight line. This is imortant to know for those making suggestions.

Might I suggest some of the arms I sell? http://www.stranoparts.com/searchbym...&ModelID=5

The quality is top-notch. The pricing is right. I use UMI products myself on my own cars (and in fact both my car and the friend's car I autocross were used to develop the parts). I can't and won't say the others suck because they aren't what I sell, it's not true. I can only tell you that I think we can do the job just as well for less money and with great tech support. I'd be happy to help you decide what style arm would suit you best. That can and does depend on how you use the car, what you want from the arms and even what other parts are on cars too.

My first set of LCA's were steeda adjustables. The bushings squeaked bad. Only one side of the each LCA had a grease fitting but with solid bushing grease would not go in. Ended up with BMR's, each side had a grease fitting and the bushings are fluted so grease can get around them. No more squeaks, same performance.
