adjustable vs. non adjustable LCA's + panhard bar??

http://www.umiperformance.com/produc...ategory_id=116

For those of you that don't know my set up. I have a firebird with a healthy 400sbc that should have 400hp(rough estimate) a th350 with a 3500 rpm converter, and a UMI Torque arm. Every other suspension part is stock, and 24 years old.

I have heard mixed reviews from people about getting adjustable vs. non adjustable parts. My car will see 98 percent street driving, and 2% drag racing, I have at least an hour ride to any track in NJ, and this car wont be taking corners and has bigs and littles on it(technically). I want to get what will be best for these circumstances, and I don't know what will be best for me. I was thinking the NON adjustable would be simple, But I was thinking, those would only be good for a Bolt on car or a car that isn't built as much as mine(even though my car is kind of moderate).

What do you guys think is best for my situation? I wouldn't mind waiting 2 weeks(for the extra $100 I have to make) to get the adjustable over the NON adjustable Package. I want this car to be able to hook like a MOFO on the track, but be a decent car to drive on the street.

i'm not positive, but i think cars with other then stock suspensions benefit most from the adjustable components. i hear its good to throw on lca relocation brackets, help with hooking up and such.

Sorry Mike, obviously that would make too much sense. I told him before he took the car that when he was ready I would set him up with the suspension parts he needs for a knock out price and he could call me whenever he has a question. Instead he has already bought some Napa brand shocks probably for around the same price I could have gotten him the GR2s for..

You can lead a horse to water.......
