Did you have any problems with just using the 1/2"?

Only on the drivers side, but I think I didn't drill straight I drilled at a slight angle on one hole.

 

$15 is damn expensive for one lousy bit.

Did it make the bolt bind going in or just not sit straight when seated?
Did the bolt go in loose or snug with the 1/2" hole vs. having a correctly sized 17/32" hole that the stock height hole had?

Yeah, the bolt got stuck in the hole and the UCA wouldn't go in until we drilled out the hole some more. The bolt went in pretty easily, wasn't really snug to me.

 

The 1" a arm drop tends to lower the front of the vehicle about 1/4" to just under 1/2" (though some of that may have to do with the accuracy of the hole driller).

And $15 isn't that much for a drill bit. $17 right now gets you a 1/2" Craftsman cobalt bit. I have some bits that are $25.

 

< got 1" drop with shelby drop.

 

If you are going to do a project like this the right quality tool "is" the right thing to do

 

yeah you are right but it doesnot raise the front end of the car..

 

True- The 1" relocation actually lowers the front end about 5/8". That's not why you do it, though. It alters the geometry to resist rolling, and "radial tunes" the suspension to keep your modern tires more square with the road.
