Default just want to double check myself

so i was looking at buying the J&M LCA's that are on sale at AM here:

http://www.americanmuscle.com/2005-p...ling-arms.html

but after doing some research, it seems like these arent the right thing for me. if I understand this correctly, I would really need adjustable LCAs along with a relocation bracket since hopefully very soon my car will be lowered with steeda ultralights and koni yellows. so what i really should be looking at are these:

http://www.americanmuscle.com/extrem...trol-arms.html

?

and also any other suggestions on other brands are welcome. thanks guys!

The Extreme Joint ones are the better way to go, but I don't see where they are adjustable for length.

Out of curiosity, why do you think you need relo brackets with 204 rwhp?

alright i got that wrong lol
and as far as the relocation brackets im going off of what i can search on this forum, and most of the ppl are GTs and when theyre lowered it seems like they all suggest getting that. do i even need LCA's? i like twisties more than straights so is it even worth it? thanks im pretty new to all this stuff

The short answer is "maybe".

However, the pre-drilled holes in any of the commercially available brackets are probably too low - they're drilled based on drag-race launch behavior rather than nice rear axle roll steer behavior in corners.
