Which type of LCAs should I get?
My friend has a set of non adjustable UMI LCAs for 50 bucks.
I usually like to get the best setup, so will these be sufficient? Or should I get adjustables.
They are bolt in.

all LCA's will be bolt in....I think you're thinking of sub frame connectors sfc's which are either bolt in or weld in. I run umi non-adjustables in my car with relocation brackets. No issues with mine and I cut a 1.6x 60' time on drag radials so I'm pretty happy with them.

Thanks Orion, which brand, size, model of DR you use? I want to cut 1.7s with Nittos, but I doubt that will happen. Thinking about using 17" M/Ts or Hoosiers.
You think i should get the relocation brackets while I am at it or just try these first?

I have both. I have nitto's for around town and I switch to MT's when I go to the track. I cut 1.7's on nitto's before. I think the line lock made a huge difference and one of these days I'll take the nitto's to the track and see what I cut with them using the line lock. I used to foot brake it when I ran the nitto's and still got a 1.7 but was more of a 1.8 consistently. The line lock and MT's together dropped a tenth off my average 60' times.
forgot size..... I run 16" wheels. so nittos are 245's and mt's are 255's.

Well he said footbrake, so I'm guessing he is an auto?

Which re-location brackets did you get, or would anyone else recommend?
Maybe these bolt-ins

You think you hook better, or have timeslips?

To give you an idea of what I added:
all parts are from UMI
LCA single adjust
PHB double adjust
3 point sfc
LCA relo brackets
Those parts made a big difference in the car.
