LCA vs UCA / ADJ vs Non ADJ
My car is lowered with the Eibach sportline springs so i need to adjsut my pinion angle. I tried searching the forums for an answer but the search function wasn't retunring anything for what I was typing in.
My question: To adjust pinion angle should i go with Adj LCA or Adj UCAs? I know i dont need both to be adj just one or the other, so which one is best to have adjustable and use non adjustable for the other. Im also planning on adding the LCA relocation brackets. Any info is appreciated.

Short answer is that adj lca's are easier to get to than an adj uca, but you have to make sure they're the same length.
Easiest way to find the answer to this question is to search by user, CrazyAl or F1fan under the Handling subforum on the search page . All the info you will ever need pops up eventually in CrazyAl and F1Fan threads especially if they are both resonding in the same thread

+1 on the adjustable LCA & solid UCA. Also, you will need the LCA relocation brackets to go with that.
When you search, click on Handling Performance for the forum to search in. And can I just say that CrazyAl is the man....he helped me with my order
He is ths suspension god.

I see many people recommend the relocation brackets and I see why, but Ithink that would make them almost the lowest if not the lowest point on a lowered car. I already have some problems on a fewspeedbumps and I would think that this would be more of a problem. Is my thinking completely wrong or is the sway bar lower?

I wouldn't think it would be a problem unless you were rolling over something that was in between your tires. Speedbumps and what not shouldn't be bad given how close the brackets are to the axle.

Yeah but since its located (horizontally) even with the tire it will clear speedbumps with no trouble. Your tires move up over the speed bump, brackets move up just as high. You run into problems with things scraping the further they are located from the axle. (chin spoilers and side skirts come to mind)
