How hard to adjust UCA length?
I was thinking about installing some lower control arms to help get rid of my wheelhop. My car is not currently lowered, and fixed length LCA's are much cheaper than adjustable ones, so I was just going to get fixed length LCA's for now. If I decide to get some lowering springs and an adjustable UCA, how hard is it to adjust the UCA to correct the pinion angle after it has been installed on the car? If it isnt that bad, then I will just go ahead and buy the fixed length LCA's, but if its going to be a pain, then I will just get the adjustable LCAs and a fixed UCA later.

You want to adjust your pinion angle with the upper arm. Get non adjustable lowers and an adjustable upper. The actual upper arm replacement is harder than doing any adjusting. Our upper arm is on car adjustable. We also offer a hd upper mount. If you have any questions please let me know.

For proper pinion angle make sure that both yokes are in straight line with each other, if you were to place two straight edges on the diff yoke and tranny yoke the should be perfectly parallel. One of my customer just bought a set of BMR non-adjustable lowers for his Saleen Extreme last week, he said the quality is superb and the car handles like a champ, so if their upper is as good get it and play with it just make sure everything is parallel.
