The UCA is hardest to get a hold of and the LCA's should not take more than an hour for both with the right equipment (lift, tools, torque wrench). Both combined no more than 2 hrs and thats taking your time IMHO. R U installing yourself! J

Too many answers to read, but I read in some magazines that you should either go with adjustable lower and non-adjustable upper, or non-adjustable lower and adjustable upper

I read that too and the UCA IMO is better fixed instead of ADJ as it is too hard to adj once on the car IMO. If dropping the car more than an 1 inch or so I would get the BMR adj LCA's with relocation brackets! J

Ok, so as I see it now what I'll do is buy the non-adjustable LCA's with relocation brackets and then go from there. I don't plan on lowering the car anymore than 1 1/4" anyway so it won't make a difference that the relocation bracket can't fix according to one of tacobill's right ups. I'll prolly just buy those, install them, then go from there. What's everyones opinion? I get the car back Wednesday probably and I need some LCA's to handle that Whipple being put on

Thanks for this thread, 07mustanggt, but I still have a few questions that have been unanswered about the geometry.

In case you're interested, I'm going to make a new thread with my questions. Feel free to post your own questions on it. (since I kind of did that to yours ) The suspension geometry is talked about a lot, but no one has provided a clear explanation or a sketching of the geometry so we can understand exactly what a pinion angle is, which way it needs to be corrected, how the adjustable parts do this, ....etc.
