OK, so i have definitely decided on the LCAs and UCAs to get, they are the adjustable ones from UPR. Has anyone else installed these?

My concern here is about the "adjustable" part. How do i know where to set everything when i install them(im keeping it stock height for now)? Im worried that i will not set the pinion angle correctly and damage the rear-end. Can some one share some information about how the adjusting works?

when you remove one of the old arms, adjust the new one to the same length by lining up the holes in the bushings or use a mesuring tape, another thing is go buy two 5 or 6 inch bolts and stick them in each hole on the old arms and adjust the new arms intill they fit onto the bolts sticking thru the old control arms.

What he said..


And if you're gettin adjustables and setting them to stock, then there is no point in the "adjustable" part. Just stick with the cheaper non-adjustable.

Yes but im planning on lowering the car later,...i dont want to buy CAs twice, so i figured i should get the good ones the first time around,...just my logic lol

I lowered my car and put normal control arms in?

I dont understand your logic

Well damn i guess im all confused,...i thought you couldnt use stock length CAs when you lowered it? hell then why do i need adjustable ones? damnt im confused....

adjustables are mainly for dialing it in at the track.

oh,..and what exactly am i dialing in? just the pinion angle? is this to make up for axle wrap or what?

changing the pinion angle will effect how the car will launch.
