Are the non adj LCAs worth the money or should I just save for the full adj ones? Found some J&M non adj for under 100 but do they make much difference?

They are pretty decent, they do have a tubular design and are better than stock for sure. Most LCAs are non-adjustable, better to get adjustable Uppers if you want to level it out, or LCA relocation brackets. Unless you are getting a one piece driveshaft then those will give you better performance at a good price.

Buy the non-adjustable ones and get the UCA in adjustable format. A ton easier to adjust the UCA than to get your force angle tested and readjust adjustable LCAs. If one side is shorter or longer than the other it could put bad mojo into your drivetrain.

Yes they are totally worth it. They'll nearly eliminate all of your wheel hop, and the rear end will flex a lot less so the car will feel more planted. And like they said, get the adjustable UCA for pinion angle adjustment, which is only necessary if you lowered your car significantly and even then it's major benefit is for if you have a 1-piece driveshaft

YES! I run them (J&M)with the relocation brackets at the lowest setting, no wheel hop or squat on launch!

Thanks guys, put them on a couple weeks ago with a whieline rear sway bar. One heck of an improvement. Had to firm up my front d specs to compensate until I upgrade the front sway. Doesn't skip around corners anymore and stays nice and flat.

LCA's are worth it, I don't know about adjustable LCA's but I've never seen anyone actually adjust them, they just set the to the stock length and install them, never understood why they wanted them then.
