I have the standard ones myself. I can honestly say they are the best investment I've made to this car. My wheel is TOTALLY gone when I installed these..which was the best part. The rear feels tighter in the hard corners as well..but mostly, no wheelhop. I love em.

nope. If your car is lowered...or if you plan to do so..then I'd get the relocation brackets - but only if you go lower than 1inch. 1 inch i.e. the eibach pro kit or similar is fine with the spohn control arms sans the brackets.

what do you plan do do with your car?

if you are thinking of insane handling, or drag racing, the adj, with spherical bearings are the best choice.

I have the Spohn Std LCA , put them on and forget about them.
I would also install a new Panhard bar at the same time to really tighten the rear end.
