those RLCA's are fucking terrifying, also you could get three feet tall ball joints and they still wouldn't do shit for your ride height in the front, also roll center correction parts on a not slammed car is a terrible idea.

stahp before you hurt yourself or someone else.

This thread is dangerous and should be deleted. The OP clearly know little if anything about suspension and they are hacking and welding their stock car up and using the wrong parts to do the wrong things.

The OP is increasing the chances that he will kill himself or someone else.

Ill post more pics Sat.

As far as i know, No one yet

Yea, ummmmmmmm, nope.

The rear LCA mod does not do anything for geometry, Just lowers the car w out buying springs. Nothing here has anything to do w the knuckle.

At the front, the extended ball joints won't affect ride height, but will help correct geometry and roll center for a lowered car.

Right now thinking of this guy.....
