Alright so Ive already been talked of non adjustable suspension parts.. my question is am I actually going to need to get double adjustable.. or will singe be fine?

Also.. if I have a Hotchkis 36MM sway bar in the front..
Can I use a stock WS6 1inch in the rear.. instead of buying the Hotchkis 1 inch? It seems like a waste of 300$ to go from 1inch to 1inch...

 

? Yea, sure you can use the rear 1" bar. No biggie.

Single adjustable is fine. Post up a comparison of the two parts you're thinking about. Double adjustable generally means "double rod end", and single adjustable means poly-rod end. The latter will give you more cushion, and less of the bone rattling jarring that rod ends tend to give you

 

i agree with sonix

single adjustable will be a good choice, it will provide you the ability to adjust your suspension a bit to correct issues caused by lowering/raising the car.

the double adj parts eliminate all bind, but your kidneys will hate you for it. they work well on full out race cars, not the best idea for the street.

 

The 1" (25.4mm) rear bar is a little bit of overkill in most cases. Mine causes throttle understeer. I'm replacing it with a GM 24mm (WS6) bar whenever I get around to getting the correct bushings.

As for the double adjustable vs single adjustable, the only real difference (I know of) is that the double can be adjusted on the car and the single have to have one end removed to adjust it. That is, unless you can only get rod ends with the double adjustable parts. The rod ends on the car will make the ride rougher than poly, but you don't want dual poly on the LCASs. Can cause binding under hard cornering. Not alot of fun.

I have this on my car:

It's a rod end on the axle mount, heavy duty rubber on the body mount and they are double adjustable...and they weigh about 2 lbs a piece. Best of both worlds. But, if you don't want DYI like me, Spohn sales double adjustable pieces with rod/poly ends.

 

I have 91's LCA's as well. Same parts.
(except get the right length, mine aren't very adjustable because mine are too long. 15" is right, IIRC.

 

stupid question...

are the adjustable suspension compents ok for street use, do the nuts ever back off and cause the car to get out of adjustment when going over everyday roads (double or single)?

 

Not in my experience. I've had my double adjustable PHB on my car for two or three years now and not had any problems. The LCAs have been on for roughly a year or so, and they're still tight. Just check them periodicly and make sure you get them on tight when you install them.

 

if you have the single adjustable parts, the nut could be left off and nothing would happen. the rod end cant unscrew when its bolted to the car. the double end pieces could move, but i think it very unlikely.

 

THanks Guys!
