Thumbs up results from newly installed adjustable rear lwr ctrl arms

well i upgraded from the standard BMR control arm to the adjustable race lower control arms with solid rods ends. car leaves perfectly straight now, it left well before but i wanted this thing to go one way....that of course is straight! I have had the other control arms on the car for over 3 years now, and they have performed flawlessly, plus it allows me to better center the axle in the wheel wells!

every little thing helps at this point.
thanks Brett!

Good to hear. I'm looking at some myself. I don't want to spend the money twice, once for non adjus. and another for adjus.

1.2 60'??was that with these arms?

I just got some billet double rod end LCAs too (from eBay) ... they look pretty good and are very light

did you adjust them at home ?! or get the car aligned at a shop ?!

ever since i installed them the car pulls to the right under light acceleration .. but when i floor it goes straight enough for me not to notice .. yah i know its scary under light accel .. (or maybe its just the 28" Et streets that feel that way) i dunno

im gonna take it to a shop for a 4 wheel alignment.. i adjusted them the best i could .. but they still pull to one side

all i did was measure each of the control arms, i believe i got them within .020" of each other. i have only driven it at the track. but car seemed to drive straight on the return road.
