When spring rolls around I'm gonna have Pedders install my coilover suspension and I was wondering:
With the car lowered, will I need adjustable LCA's, and what brand would be the best for my application?

I've got Roush shock/springs in the rear and have Che LCA's. For the one inch drop with these springs I didn't need adjustable LCA's or UCA. I did get a set of LCA relocation brackets to keep the LCA's level (you can get some interesting high speed steering with them not level). I ordered those and a set of GT500 LCA's. The GT500 LCA's didn't fit in the center hole on brackets, so I got Che's. I did need an adjustable panhard, even at stock height the rear was off center, with the springs it went out more than 1/2". After
I would NOT recommend the CHE's, they squeak/groan every three months. Lube them up and they're fine, but then three months later the noise is back. Otherwise they're fine.
My guess is if you need adjustable lowers, you're going to need an adjustable upper to maintain a good pinion angle.
Live free or die
Ok, thanks. I'm trying to figure out what parts I need to get now so they don't need upgraded later, and later on I wanted to throw in a Watts link to complete everything for the rear suspension. I just wasn't sure what lca's I'd need.
