Ride height/spring cutting

Don't expect your ride height to change right away it take time for springs to settle

 

If I am not mistaken, some of the aftermarket control arms offer the "Shelby Drop" as part of their design.

 

Shouldn't take more than one day.

 

By doing the Shelby Drop, you increase the inward angle of the top A-frame so the camber recovery begins sooner (awful angles built into a stock system) - any A-frame stock, or aftermarket, still bolted into the stock mounting holes will not increase this angle unless there is an aftermarket top A frame that uses a much taller ball joint

 

my tcp upper control arms do lower the pivot point below the mounting point like the shelby drop accomplishes.

 

Yep, that would accomplish it and that is one great looking Hi Tech upper control arm

 

That's the one I had in mind.

What I am grappling with is the decision whether to go with an adjustable coil over shock and these A Arms or adjust my ride height with a combo of this A Arm and remove of a section of the stock coil a small amount at a time until the car sets like I want it.

Are those $750 "economy" coil over shocks really worth the $$$ for a car that is not Autocrossed?

 

they let you adjust the shocks for anything. i can loosen the extension on the fronts for dragracing or tighten them up for handling or high speed driving. if you can afford them they are worth if they are just to pricy single adjustable will be really nice also to have. if you just want to get a low ride height and just fun street driving then some nice bilstein shocks, shelby drop, and cut springs will deliver plenty of fun on the street.
