Thoughts on adj. LCA's

It is time to work on some of my traction issues. What are all your thoughts on adjustable Lower control arms. Is it worth the extra money over the non adjustable ones? How much of a difference are we talking if any? Im not sure if it will make any difference but I am looking for mainly straight line help.
Thank you

adj control arms???

Do you mean adj panhard rod, because I don't think they make adjustable control arms, your only choices are boxed and tubular to the best of my knowledge.

If you are like me and was mostly looking for straight line performance, I suggest going with BMR boxed. They are a little stonger than the tubular LCAs. You should be very happy with these.

I guess I'm old school, they didn't have those back in the day when I bought my LCA's, .
I have the regular BMR boxed with poly bushings it works fine for my application.

The adjustable LCA's allow you to align your rear axle, along with and adjustable PHR.

I know with the stock hardware, my rear axle is out of alignment a little bit. That's why I'm building my own LCAs & PHR and adding an adjustable T/A so I can indefinately adjust my rear axle, and hopefully solve the vibration issue I'm having.
