Quote: | If you've lowered the car 2 inches, then probably best to fit a 2 inch RCA. That'll get it back to standard at least. How are the control arms now, is the inside pivot lower than the outside? Or horizontal?
|
I have a diagram at home explaining RCAs I drew for someone - I'll post it tonight. But basically:
Say that, stock, your lower control arms are horizontal. When you lower the car by fitting lower springs, the distance between the lower spring perch and strut top os shorter. The control arms are now angled upwards - affecting steering geometry, and lowering the roll centre.
If you add appropriately sized RCA blocks UNDER the bottom of the strut, and ON TOP of where the lower control arm is attached, the lower control arms are now horizontal again, but the car is still lowered. Make sense?
