Default stock lca's angle.

Do stock lca's angle downward a little where they connect to the chassis. My rod end bmrs definitely angle downward although they are set to 19.25 in. (the same length that I measured fro stock.

Can someone please look at their stock lca and tell me if they are parallel with the groung or if the angle down toward the connection on the chassis?

The car is at stock height with stock wheels. Would a lagging stock spring make the carrier tilt, and thus produce the angled lca? Shouldn't I be able to adjust this out with my adjustable lca's?

My rear springs were worn out and the control arms was angled upward...you want the Lca's to angle down. So I suggest grabbing a set of new springs and/or relocation brackets.
