if you dont mind the cost, get adjustable perches.

If you plan on going coil overs some day I wouldnt even worry about adjustable perches. If you had a car that ran slicks that were to big to fit your lowered car than yeah get the adj perches so you can raise it an inch to get extra clearence.

Fixed that for you.

Like I said, I like MM's LCAs. They are more expensive though, especially the adjustable ones.

EDIT: Looks like F8L got to that *right* before I did, lol.

hehe, I have been corrected. Of course coil over setup wins... Im rocking strange 10 way adjustable shocks, and gms adjustable upper/lower control arms with the stock springs. I am content with what I have and don't feel the coil overs would be worth it for me at this point.

If you're getting the MaximumMotorsports LCAs, and you are going drag racing, be absolutely sure to get the Extreme Duty ones (with spherical bushings on both ends). The poly bushings on the other MM LCAs do not stand up to drag launches (from my personal experience at the track).

yes the solid bushings are the only way to go for launching, from what i was saying earlier the ass end needs to be stiff because it will help prevent the car from bouncing back and forth when shifting down the track, my nose still dives because i have regular tockico illuminas in the front for my struts which i know i should change to a drag strut, believe me, having a solid rear end and some drag strut along with coil overs will help tremendously....
