Are you running the upper control arms with the relocation brackets welded to the housing? Did you need to run the offset arms to clear the tire?

On another note- does anyone know if the GT and LX springs are the same or different? Anyone know the spring rates?

The brackets are not welded to the housing. Team Z's kit uses a different method. I choose the offset lowers because I planned on running a 29.5x10.5W tire on the car.

With a 28x10.5W tire can you run the standard lower arms?

I thought with the relocation bracket on the uppers you were supposed to weld them in addition to using the bolt. Maybe that was another company.

The 28x10.5W will fit without offset lowers but they won't fit without a mini tub. The relocation brackets bolt to the stock upper brackets on the housing and then are braced together and then a brace runs down to the front of the housing on each side.
