They cost more. But would they benefit me?

What will adjustments make?

After each adjustment is an alignment needed?
truthfully, the non adjustables will suffice. however it will make alignments easier and quicker....aka more efficient. either way, whatever you get, you will need an alignment. its just a matter of doing it via the arms or the adjustable stock hardware bolts....

something to think about however, the rear camber bolts and some of the hardware are TTY (torque to yield) meaning they should be replaced every alignment. http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=502324

naturally the cost effective way would be to get adjustable arms. mainly the upper control arm for camber adjustments and the toe rods. the other two trailing arms can stay stock/non adjustable really.

also its a no brainer, but if you plan to use em year round, and not just a garage queen/track car.... def anti-seize the hell out the threads so nothing freezes up, preventing adjustment.

Are the cradle lockouts an upgrade for the 1le? (never mind, reread the brochure thingy) the SS bushings are FE3 , and what the V6 upgrades to on the FE2 stock bushings.

so both the SS and V6 1LE's run the FE3 bushings.

I just ordered the cradle lockouts myself on Monday. already had the front braces...still need to get the rear one and the toe rod.
