Everybody with a 82-02 Camaro or Firebird has them...
If you are looking to upgrade your stock parts, it's a good idea. The stock pieces are kinda flimsy. There are lots of comanies that sale them and lots of options for what ends (rubber bushing, rod end, polyurathane bushings) they have, whether or not they are adjustable or not. You can get improvements in cornering and launching with upgraded LCAs and PHB.
What are you building the car to do will determine what type of piece you'll use. What are your plans for the car?

any aftermarket replacement will be better than the factory stamped steel. J&M has a special right now (check in the sponsor area) for lca's and phb sets.

You'll want the combo ended ones for street driving/cornering. You can build your own for less than the cost of buying them from the vendors. I have LCAs I built on my car.

I've got the adjustable umi panhard and lca's on my car and I love them. They are definitely much better than stock. If your car is lowered you need the adj. panhard bar to center your rear end back up.

I have double adjust ables. These were the first real aftermarket parts on my car and I lowered my car a little bit with the track bar on my alignment rack at school . You will notice a difference . I drive my car daily and it feels alot better in snow to.

Ya,you look lowered so you will HAVE to get LCA relocation brackets...I think that made the biggest difference to me.

awesome choice. im very happy with mine. easy to install.

just an fyi:... when installing the LCA's. you have to bend up a bracket out of the way thats on the oem set.

also,.. only do ONE side at a time. dont take both off! it will take you forever to put them back on correctly.

I have a UMI double adjustable panhard, non-adjustable poly/poly LCAs, and bolt in relocation brackets. It all fits great and I get 0 wheel hop. The craftsmanship is pretty good too.
