I am updating all of my suspension. And I'm installing 1.2 inch drop springs on my TA. And was wondering if I should get adj. Rear control arms? Or will non adj. be fine?

I am wanting this car to handle better. And I will see some time on the drag strip.
Price isn't an issue. Just don't want to waste money on something not needed.

I went with non adjustable, but I believe either one will make a difference, adjustable just allows you to tweak your suspension more to your liking. And because you said you are lowering the car, I would also recommend lower control arm relocation brackets, weld on or bolt in whatever you prefer.

Ya I'm picking up a set of relocation brackets. That's one of the first things I read to do when lowering the car. Looks like I'm gonna go adj.

I got an adj. Panhard bar with a relocation bracket to keep the axle true. Figure I should go ahead and make it one more thing to adjust. lol
Plus the TA is over do for a rebuild. body has 212,000 miles and is starting to show it in the handeling department
