Yeah I'll have to mod it someday... But I drive too much like a gramma to worry about breaking something

Someone tell me the purpose of lca/uca and coilovers and how they work/adjust?

Ha, you say that now!

I replied to your coilover question in the other thread, but the UCAs and LCAs will cure your wheelhop, keep the rear end more planted under load, and are usually necessary after lowering to keep the correct geometry.

I'd never heard this before? Is this true of a slight lowering, like Steeda Sport Springs or only with a car that's slammed?

From what the vendors have said on here, if you're 1.5" or less, you'll be okay, but any lower than that and they become a necessity.

Any more than that and the pinion angle of the rear end will be off and cause you suspension to bind. The upper control arm that's adjustable is how you fix this. Also if you don't have adjustable lowers then you would need relocation brackets. If you are slammed then you might need both to get the pinion back to spec and keep your rear end from breaking stuff. Z if you drive like a senior citizen then coil overs would be a waste of money. They give you the ability to adjust the dampening of your shocks as well as adjust height all around and Camber for the front.

I still want him to upgrade his shocks and struts. You're putting too much strain on them being lowered, even with your low miles. I can't believe a guy with your OCDness chose to just do springs and a PHB. You could've had it all done at once!

Great info. I'm planning to do Steeda Sport Springs & Koni Sports, so it sounds like I should be okay.

Steve and I are good friends, he used to me in the Army so he and I have a lot to talk about For the UCA, don't skimp out. The new revised Whiteline piece is something that they should've come out with first however, I would still go with the BMR piece. I truly believe you get what you pay for, I have yet to hear of any negative reviews on their UCA when paired with their mount. I'll shoot you a pm with our discount code, just let me know what you think
this^. I have the BMR UCA and mount. It looks like it was built to hold a tank together. Both pieces are solid

One of those is the adjustable UCA. That's why it has the adjustment nut in the center of the shaft.
