is there any benefit to adjustable LCAs for my camaro. It's mostly a track car and won't get more than 100 miles a year on it since it's trailered to shows. I would imagine that rod ends would be suggested over poly since it's a mostly straight line car, although are they necessary? Is there any benefit to run adjustable LCAs--ie do I want to move the axle forward or backwards for any benefits? or is this something I can save the cash on?

 

I feel like ALCA's are good if you need to fine tune pinion angle or square up rear end but definitely not a must have item. It is all going to depend on your tuning threshhold...how **** do you want to get, personally, boxed in stock LCA's getter dun fer me @ 10.90's, but it is entirely up to you.

 

If your ride height and suspension is basically stock it may not be worth it to you. But if you plan on a lot of suspension changes or ride height changes the only way to keep your wheels centered and everything aligned the best is to have adjustable LCA's. I have adjustable LCA's and panhard rod and like them a lot, for me it was worth the extra money.

 

having no bushings in the rear suspension is actually not such a good idea for a stock style suspension car. it shocks the tires way too hard and unless your running a four link with narrowed rearend with huge tires, it will over power your small tire (anything under 30x10.5 is considered small) hurt starting line performance. the best bet is to run and adjustable unit with poly bushings on both ends, this way the bushing takes some of the brunt at the launch instead of shocking the tire with all that power.

 

alright adjustable in poly you say huh? I was always under the impression that rod ends were better for the track due to no deflection, albeit they wear out quicker

 

not for a small tire car...however, they are GREAT for an auto-x car.
