Strano spring question I pick up a set of Strano springs and KYB AGX shocks for trade on a UMI k-member. The question is; Can I loosen the lcas then retorque or buy new adjustable lcas. Is there any other angle adjustments other than an alignment? thanks.
How much will the new springs change your ride height from your previous springs?
There should be no need to replace your control arms if you are changing springs and shocks. With your adjustable panhard bar you should be able to re center your rear if needed.

I believe it's 1.25" from stock. The springs are used but no real miles on them. They look like new, same with the shocks. I have the stock suspension and it's done with 139k on the clock. I had the k-member to do a build, but when in a different direction. The k-member was high quality with excellent welds on it. Some people still take pride, good to see. I will buy again. Will the torque arm some into play? I'm replacing the front bushing with a poly?

Also pass on the poly bushings especially in the vertical position bushing, it will bind and can cause the control arm to break, get replacement rubber bushings.

Thanks, I was on the fence about the polys. My first f-body, don't know how it will react with different parts. So far this site has saved time and money, two things that are always in short supply.
