Default Here's Some Pix's Of What's Wrong With My Suspension!

Hello Everyone!
I'm sorry for hitting the suspension all week!
But this is what I found wrong with my suspension.
Before and After.

This is the right angle for the lca (stock springs)

This is wrong with new springs!

This is the right angle for the uca (stock springs)

This is the wrong angle uca w/new springs

Can you see the difference?

in the pic of proper angle the car it looks like its on a lift so the angle will eb different where as yours appears to be on the ground where the suspension does compress.

are you experiencing ride issues? or are you judging it based on these pics?because if you wanna tell put your car on a lift then measure the difference. as far the off center wheels are they intedend for a s197? theres a good odd the offset is off or backspacing.

Denny your losing power to the rear wheels like this. You are actually moving the car up when it takes off instead of out. You need to get anti squat bracket or relocation kit for those LCA's. Your UCA might be affected by the same thing as well. Read below for a more detailed write up:

ok i uindertand the relocation brackets but those look like the steeda LCAs and thos eare not adjustable i forgot to look and see if he had lowered his car. but what i was reffering to was that the pics are 2 diff situations so not a good way to compare. if you have an unlowered car with nonadjustable LCAs the relocation bracket is not necessary correct?

not necessary, but some like to. Crazy Al's post is more explination. Steeda's are adjustable and I guess they work well to line the LCA up in its correct place.
