Subject: Re: SPC Upper Control Arms (UCA) Installation by NelsonV on 2011/2/9 19:19:14 I'm curious as to why you used shims with the adjustable uppers. I mean the purpose is to do away with shims for adjustment right? One idea that was suggested to me (that I never did): 1) Do your baseline alignment, for everyday driving, using only the adjustable UCAs. 2) Then you can do a secondary, "performance" alignment for added negative camber using shims. This allows you to quickly change between street and track camber settings by removing/replacing the shims and not having to adjust the turnbuckles on the UCAs. Edit: I may have steps 1 and 2 reversed depending on whether the crossbar is mounted inboard or outboard of the frame mount, but I think you get the idea. By the way, I made new CrMo sleeves for my UCAs.
