Default Installation help

so I got some extra cash and its gone now ha. I bought adjustable lcas with relocaripn brackets and an adjustable torque arm with the umi relocation bracket. They are both single adjustable and I have no idea on how to adjust them properly. Also I went ahead and bought the qa1 type r suspension from speed Inc. Please give me as much advise as u can. Appreciated greatly.

With the LCA's, you adjust them to the same length as the stock. So lay them next to each other on a bench and adjust accordingly. They are adjustable because sometime the rearend is tweaked from the factory (visible by how the whell/tire is centered in the fender. So axle could look like this / or \ and you can 'adjust' it back to straight. 99% of the time people just adjust to stock length.

The torque arm should have directions with it.

If all the items are our pieces (UMI) the nice thing is we set them to factory length during assemble.. so all adjustable items shipped are pre-set for you.

If you have any additional questions regarding the installation or adjustment please call our tech support at 814-857-5400

Thanks!
Ryan
