... looking at your DS thread do you think I'll run into problems knowing...
1) Mine is lowered 1.5"
2) The driveshaft is 3.5"
3) I'm not as svelte as you (woo-hoo got to use a word of the day)
4) I tend to have passengers in the back... not frequently but I do every once-in-awhile ??
would part of the solution be an adjustable UCA ??
If I'm going to run into problems down the road or effectively make my car a two-seater I'm hesitant about doing it, ya know. If the problems are minimal at best and if I can have passengers then my reluctance maybe goes away.

Although it probably wouldn't hit anything, I would still relocate that e-brake cable bracket and flatten out that stamped steel hump as a 'just incase'.
If you're planning on carrying adult passengers in the rear, I'd look into getting some better bumpstops (uretane kind) too, our foam stops may not cut it on hard impacts when bottoming out.
As long as you're within the pinion angle specs (-2.75 to -3 degrees), adjustable UCA/LCA's shouldn't be necessary. My angle is -2 and is vibration free, so there seems to be some leeway in the tolerance.

Take the Girl out!
Here's the forecast it can only get better.... 
Look it's in our fortune!
Hey off topic I'm considering a new chest:
Choice #1
Choice#2
Things got a little out of hand at Sears!
Jed, I think those lumps will look funny on your chest. Don't do it!
Now if you're talking roll-a-ways, I like option #2 as long as it includes the dead blow hammers.

Not to pin this all on George.....
When he was talking about the PITA that going to and back from Temecula was, it reminded me how this killed the entire day and was 200+ miles on my car. Did I mention it's raining ??.... Usually I wouldn't mind but it this cruise just isn't getting my interest this time.
But getting a unique bottle of wine for your sweetheart isn't a bad idea......not where did I leave her ?

Hi guys just popping in to say hello...... saw Temecula and it caught my eye, it's not too far from my inlaws..... I think one of them actually works in Temecula IIRC.
Only person was Leo about the parking lot situation at the winery.
Guess we'll see how the weather pans out by Saturday morning.
Hi Tom!
Still entertaining the thought of selling off you Vortech (not for me, but curious)?

Is it just me or are there hardly ever any new threads anymore. The one's that do seem to pop up are the same old which cai? Brenspeed or Bama? Seriously now it's been 3+ years, there's plenty of threads to answer those Q's.
Bored at work an need something to read.
