If I were to slam my car I think I would look at the Stance because their arm is designed for slammed cars with that extra bend in the arm. That bend gives you back a little coilover travel as opposed to other arms. I believe they are adjustable on the car as well.

The Cusco arms are a little more difficult to adjust because you have to remove the LCA to subframe bolt, pull the arm down, adjust, and then reconnect. Some have had luck with slim wrenches to make the adjustment, but not all alignment shops may have slim wrenches.

While it's true that you should only have to adjust them once if you're not constantly playing with your ride height, they are still a pain to adjust if you have to disconnect/reconnect until you get the desired setting. At that point, it really comes down to how patient the alignment tech is. Get a good tech and they'll play with it until the get the exact settings you want. Get a bad tech that doesn't want to spend all day fiddling with it and you'll get something "close enough". What makes the alignment more of a PITA is that camber and toe affect one another so you adjust the camber, get it where you want and then you have to adjust toe and that may throw off the camber. With something that can be adjusted on the car, just put a wrench on the toe eccentric and another on the camber nut/eccentric and you can adjust both simultaneouly.
