[QUOTE="BMR Tech, post: 13370562, member: 124691"] I should probably clarify this, so people reading are well informed. Typically, I do NOT recommend lowering the front of the UCA mounting point, AND lowering the rear of the LCA. I like to go one way, or the other, [I]especially on a car that is not lowered substantially.[/I] Thanks to a great member on this board, Tob, I have some excellent pictures to share. I have always known this about these parts, and was very excited when Tob decided to share his pictures of the stock UCA system VS the Roush UCA system: [IMG]http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b9d701b3127ccef87d2a67c5a100000040O30AbNmbhq2aNWQPbz4Q/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D3/rx%3D720/ry%3D480/[/IMG] [IMG]http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b9d701b3127ccef87d6b2e046000000040O00AbNmbhq2aNWQPbz4Q/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D720/ry%3D480/[/IMG] As you can see, which is awesome actually, Roush goes ahead and does this great duty for the end user. They lower the UCA mounting point down, which increases AS% and shortens the IC. IF you have a Roush UCA system, and use LCA Relocation brackets....the back of the car will raise up drastically when launching, sometimes being too excessive, causing traction issues either on the "hit" or right afterwards. To fix this, you need to install a mount with a higher position on the UCA, or you can likely address the issue with a set of Double Adjustable Shocks, which can work well.....if it works, because you will be pounding the crap out of the tires! If you use shocks to do this, you want the compression to be full stiff....and the rebound to be about 1/2 stiff. This will still allow the car to raise up, but will not allow it to fall as freely....keeping the tires planted. Pfffeww.,....hope I covered everything. lol [/QUOTE]
