yeah im not hard core , so I don't need the optimal pinion angle , I want the solids cause i lowered the car , and occasionally drag race

What are your goals with the car? If you are looking for improved handling, reducing wheel hop on hard launches, and improving traction, non adjustables are really all you need with a set of relocation brackets

...no need to spend the extra dough.

Adjustable control arms are really overkill for anyone that doesnt plan on needing to change pinion angle when not deviating much from the stock ride hieghts. If you lower your car a considerable amount or raise it for tire clearance, the pinion angle changes and must be adjusted for in order to be set up correctly. For the everyday streetcar that has a mild to no drop, non adjustables are just fine.

We have the UMI adjustables on our roadrace fox mustang and set them to stock length about 4 years ago, never touched them since. If you are planning on pushing the car with more mods and want the adjustability for the future, by all means go adjustable.

I think you will be very happy with an LCA, panhard bar, and relocation kit. You will get much improved performance and traction for a pretty modest amount of money spent. It also looks nice poking out from behind

We sell BMR, UMI, Steeda, etc and can get you a great package price with FREE SHIPPING. Shoot us a PM on your goals with the car, how much you drive it on the track/street, and we can get you the right combo on your budget.

Shoot us a PM, let us know how we can help you.
