Default Upper Control Arms

I am fairly new to the car scene, and am still a little rough around the edges on everything going on. I recently ordered the FRPP Suspension pack from Brenspeed, and on the advice of a friend ordered the adjustable upper control arm, and was wondering what this is going to accomplish. I'm not trying to sound stupid, i was just wondering what sort of return i am going to see when I install the Upper Control Arm. Thanks in advance for the help.

What problem were you having with the car that you were hoping the UCA would solve?

Thanks for the help man. i dont have any problems with the car, i am just lowering it about an inch and a half and my buddy who has a similar set up told me to grab an adjustable upper control arm. i was wondering what it was going to do, (being a suspension idiot lol) and what kind of gains the adjustable upper control arm would give me on launches and handling.

Cars and drivers vary but you might want to wait putting in a UCA until after you do the other work. Some people find just lowering the car helps a lot with the axle hop.

Putting in the UCA can be a bit of a challenge. Depending on what bushings yours has it can also add NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness).
