LCA problem i installed some spawn lca`s and some umi relocation brackets and PHB and now its like the rearend has been pushed back in the wheel well about .50-.75 of an inch..my car is an 02 with a prokit and bilstiens.. i installed this same setup on my old car (99 ss) and had no issues.. is this normal? i guess im going to sell the non adj lcas and get some adjustable ones...

Here's a few Suggestions! Hello
Thanks Guys for the recommendation! We offer a few different styles such as a single adjustable with poly/rod end which we suggest for the street and strip cars and we also offer two versions of a double adjustable one has rod ends (we recommend these for a race set up) and the other has poly ends (less road noise and more for the street) If you have any other question feel free to ask and I will be glad to help! Below is a link to show you what we have to offer.

- Double check the length of the Spohn lowers versus your factory lower control arms, they should be identical.
- Double check the installation of the relocation brackets on the rear end housing. The UMI relocation are like ours and have the holes in the relocation bracket positioned in an arc so wheel base should not be altered.

Hello, the rod ended arms will be a little noisier thean the poly arms. Do you drive the car on the street? Our on car adjustable poly/rod combo is a good choice for the street strip car. If the car is at the track most of the time the rod end version will be your best bet. Give me a call if you have any questions.

When you install the brackets before the bolts are tightened down the brackets will move front to back some. If they are not in the right location when they are installed your wheelbase will be off. If they haven't been welded on just loosen the bolts and readjust them. Give me a call if you have any questions.

no with the bolt in brackets the tab that the shock bolts threw wont allow it to move front to back any theres only one location for it to go once the shock is bolted back up it wont go anywhere even with the control arm bolt out.. either we have a defected lca bracket or the cars been in a very back wreck which i doubt..im just going to get some adjustable control arms and call it done..im goin to get the rod end\poly end ones i drive the car maybe once a week and when im driving it im racing lol..and i plan on getting a short trq arm anyways so noise ill have to deal with..thanks for the help
