UCA's for lowering 1-1.25" needed?

**ErikElvis** · 08-21-2006, 09:13 AM

Just wondering if UCA's are required to maintain proper alignment on a car lowered 1-1.25". Trying to do the suspension right.

Thanks guys,

Erik

If you are lowering the car an adjustable Panhard bar/rod will help keep your rear centered, and if you are experiencing wheel hop lower control arm relocation brackets will put your LCA's back at a proper angle. Adjustable LCA's are usually set at the stock length and unless you have a really trick setup or custom wheels then they will probably be left at the stock length.

Remember for handling though the more weight on the rearend becomes unsprung weight on a road course.

I would actually recommend rubber/poly LCA bushings instead of poly/poly. For handling the poly/poly will bind...

Good luck with your setup!

Thanks! I think rear is taken care of. Have Tubular BMR LCA's with poly/rubber, BMR adj panhard, and BMR bolt in relocation brackets coming. Just wondering about the front UCA and alignment. Still workin on the springs....

The front will mainly be for weight reduction and then again quick fine alignment adjustment. It is not needed, unless you just absolutely have to have the new upper control arms...
