Thumbs up

My car is getting built this week and of course I'm going a little crazy :-s anyways I wanted to go ahead and order some lower control arms and was wondering about the advantages or disadvantages of geting adjustable lower control arms or fixed ones? I don't belive I'll ever lower my car but I do plan on doing most of the usual suspension mods to help handling for the road but most of all to get hooked up for the strip. Thanks for any helpful info!

You do not need adjuatable arms.I was going to buy then too but Boss Hog and othere said no.
Installl Steeda springs and the BMR lower control arms. You will love the ride.

Another vote for the BMR LCA's here. I have the non-adjustable tubular w/urethane bushings on both ends. If memory serves, Boss Hog has the adjustable BMR LCA's with a spherical bearing on the axle end of them. The Steeda's are beautiful, but I couldn't justify that they were $350 worth of beatiful when they do the same job as the $100 BMR's

actually after getting the factory arms off, the rubber bushings are not the problem

the problem is what holds the bushing, there are 2 pieces of steel rivited to the main piece of steel thats the control arm

you can flex the assembly by hand
