Yes, lower the car and you'll need new adj rear toe links. Most folks do not use rear adj LCA's.

I agree with you about the trash getting into threads. But A) I hope not to mow the grass with the car B) those joints can't be any more susceptible than tie rods etc...

Could always wrap with tape to keep clean.

You've been a big help, thank so much. Now I just need to figure out who to buy from. As usual, spending waaaay more than I want to. Hate that I have the need to go fast
