Steeda suspension upgrade

I just received all of my goodies from Steeda yesterday. Sport springs, pro action shocks and struts, hd mounts, ph bar, billet lc arms and adj uc arm. Can't wait to tackle the install and get rid of the annoying wheel gap, brake dive and wheel hop. Adjusting the pinion angle has got me a little nervous but I'll read up on it and should be fine.

We have a lot of experts in the office ... if you have any questions or concerns ... you can call us or email me at tim@steeda.com.

Thank you for purchasing from Steeda & please post pictures & feedback after the install ... would leave to see the before & after.

Best Regards,

TJ

I would set the UCA the same hole center to center as the stock piece.

Forgive my ignorance on this matter but if I make it the same length as the stock piece and now I have lower springs wouldn't that essentially be like still having the stock piece on there and the angle would still be off?

From what I have seen and read with the drop of the sport springs, It doesn't change the pinion angle enough to worry about. The steeda piece you bought is much better than the stock piece in several ways and will make a difference.

I agree there. I went with the new UCA and LCA's to get rid of the wheel hop for sure, plus they are stronger and look better.

Looking at a similar setup for later this summer, definitely post up some pics when you're done. Nice choices there!

You will love how it drives. I just had my install done a few weeks ago - STEEDA springs, adj PH bar, PH brace, billet LCAs, adj UCA. Paired with KONI STR-T struts/ shocks and BMR relocation brackets. Rides better than stock. Enjoy!!!
