I am part way through the install of the UCA and LCA. I have decided against installing the relocation brackets. I am going to wait until I lower the car. Here are a couple of install photos. One is with the reloaction bracket mocked up. I would like to know what the optimum LCA angle is best for me. I believe the more angle the better the bit is and more level better for the twisties.
Can hardly wait until spring to road test.

OMG that Shelby is Clean! The mods look great, I'm sure your gonna find a difference. As to the optimum LCA angle, I'm not sure, maybe ask over on svtperformance.com ??? Lots of Shelby owners there that have experience modding
Be sure to keep us updated!

She is squeeky clean all right! I will check out the LCA angle once I get the other side done and do some snooping around on the best angle. I'll kept you posted.
Did you install the relocation brackets?

I am sure you will be happy with the results and like you said (sort of) come on spring. Has your car ever been driven in the rain??? All I have had to do is dust underneath the car as it has never ever been driven in the wet, thank God lol

Not yet, but I have to. I noticed my front bracket is lower than the rear.

She has been caught in the rain twice. Once for a few minutes in town, the other is a long storey that I should take time to write down some time....

Here is a good article on LCA Suspension Modifications and Adjustments.
