questions about lca
sooo , was just considering getting non adjustable lca's and relocating brackets , but I remember the last stang that I put solid lcas on had a horrible ride (noise and feel)
need input from people that have them , are you happy with them ? and did you honestly get better traction ? I did some search's and mostly found the brand people got , and that they were satisfied , but I want details of why they are happy , and was it worth it to them

I have the J&M HotPart LCA's, non adjustable and they have been great. Just a little more noise but with the poly bushings not much more than stock, and definitely a lot better response and traction. If you get the rod ends they will be noisier.
I also have the UMI performance relocation brackets. They bolted right up, no issues at all with those. A friend had the CHE and we had to open up the bolt holes to get his installed.
I have the adjustable UCA - figuring that one point of adjustment will be easier to set up than trying to get two LCA's adjusted properly.

I use CHE fixed-length LCAs and CHE antisquat brackets, along with Steeda adjustable UCA and panhard bar for adjusting pinion angle and rear end alignment due to lowering.
If get some kind of soft bushings in the LCA's, they wont be that harsh; harsher than stock, sure, but reasonable.
