Out of curiosity, I see you do not have the adjustment brackets.
I do not plan on lowering my car. How beneficial are the brackets? Should I just save the money and by the LCAs only?

Well i'm really going for optimum, not just what I can squeak by with, but I don't know much about suspension work. I would really like to to my UCA at the same time but what's the difference b/t adjustable and fixed? Do I really need the wiggle room so to speak?

From what I've read, the adjustable UCA is good for adjusting pinion angle. Do you really need adjustable lowers if the upper is adjustable?

I was talking about the uppers, wasn't even considering lowers. Just want to know what the differences are and why I would need the adjustable, like I said i'm suspension stupid i've been working with motors and not much else most of my life.

when the car gets lowered the pinion angle changes, depending on the drop it could potentially still be in a ok range, using either an ajustable upper or lower will help correct the setting, dont need both adjustable, the use of the relocation brackets provides a reset of the lca angle which helps with traction, lca's work best being level or pointing slightly upwards to the front of the car, if you have lowered your car and not added brackets you can go look at the lcas and they are most likely sticking upward toward the rear of the car, if you like doing burnouts this really isnt a bad thing LOL

Hah ok appreciate it man that helps a lot. So will I need to take it by a shop to get my pinion angle check after my install just to be on the safe side?

well more what i'm asking is the price difference isn't much, i'm thinking i'm going to go on and get the adjustable to be able to dial it in. do they come set up to stock specs or should I have them checked out after I put them on?

most of them have to be set properly for the individual car, you could luck out and yours end up being just what you need but most likely not.
