I'm really having a hard time choosing between adjustable & nonadjustable LRCA's. My car is a street car that sees the track once every few years to see where my new mods have put me. Has anyone had any issues going with a non-adjustable LRCA and not having enough room to run a slick on 15" rims?

Using adjustable control arms is really for setting your pinion angle. On a street car, I'd just grab some non-adjustable lowers, and if you want to adjust pinion angle, grab some adjustable uppers down the road.

It all depends on how big of a slick you want to run under the car. I would call someone like MM and see how big of a slick you can run with standard LCAs and if you want bigger than that then you will need to get adjustable LCAs. The adjustable LCAs don't really do anything for the pinion angle they are generally used to gain clearance for taller tires. As stated by others the adjustable UCAs are where you can make your pinion angle adjustments.
