Question Adjustable LCA's?

Any reason to get adjustables over non-adjustables other then to compensate for tolerances with longer/shorter driveshafts and rear-end placement? I want to lower my car next yr; i kno i will need LCA relocation brackets. I want to replace my LCA also, but i only want to do it once (no sense of wasting money). I plan on replaing my rear in the far future but with nothing that will have a different stock location. The car is also a show/cruzer that will see some weekend track time but not like every weekend.

Just tryin to save some $$$ where i can.

adjustable lca's are just to keep the rear centered in the wheelwell

if your just lowering it, all you really need is an adjustable panhard to keep the rear centered under the car once its lowered

or to make clearance for bigger rims and tires? i would eventually like to put 315's on the back, and i had issues tryin to fit 10.5" rims on the back so now i have 8.5" all the way around. Would getting them make my life easier?

LCA will allow you to move the rear back ( require longer drive shaft ) so you could run a 28or 29" slick (can't remember, think 29s )and it won't contact the fender. At speeds around 125 the slicks grow enough to make contact.

To run 315 or if your car is lower you will need an adjustab;e panhard rod to you ca recenter the rear.

That is kinda what i figured they were really only used for. So if i NEVER plan on using slicks, just get standard non-adjustiable?

as long as you don't go to tall or wide your fine. besides, the stock drive train needs allot more then ALCA before it will survive slicks.
