new 4th gen suspension part/w pics
 
here are a couple of pics for a new 4th gen suspension part it is a uca spacer it allows you to run a lower ride hight without bending the uca,due to contact with the inner wheel well or shock mount. Blainfab makes them out in california and I tested the prototypes this past weekend. They worked well no contact. And after bending 2 sets of umi arms it was nice not to worry.

Saw that on frrax. It looks like a brilliant idea as it is a simple solution to a problem. Did it raise your ride height any?

is that a spacer and taller UBJ?

I'm glad the suspension market for these cars is still expanding. Interested to see how you like them & those UMI upper arms.

those appear to be global west UCAs

no need for a taller ubj, and that is the spacer it moves the uca down to give you more clearance.

Out of curiosity, why do you have poly bushings in your control arm rather than having rod ends? I only ask because you dont seem to drive your car on the street so the lack of street comfort doesnt seem to apply. Just asking though

those are delrin, not poly. no need for the harshness of a rod end in that spot

yes those are delrin, In the 2 sets of umi uca I had rod ends, no real diffrence in NVH. Im only interested in making my car preform better so sacrifices are needed. I really dont worry about street comfort as I only drive it about 100 miles a week. Getting a car to handle in a autocross enviroment is all about weight to contact patch ratio.
