bigger diameter tube will move the spring perch up, farther way from center line of control arm. Smaller diameter tube will move the spring perch down closer to center line of control arm

Re: 12 sec F8L build = ALWSBRK

Interesting. I never realized that. I have some delrin/spherical bearing adjustable Racecraft Inc. arms waiting to be installed. Tubing diameter looks a little small. I'm excited now.

Aw, have to post just the link. http://www.racecraft.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=383
I found that out after I installed my Roush lowers. I saw the back sat a little higher but never thought twice about it. Next day I drove my buddy to pick up an 04 sti 200 miles away. Drove back at night with my headlights pointed 2 feet in front of me. Needless to say it was a shitty 4 hr drive
 
I guess it'll give me a reason to re-aim my headlights. I never did them by marking a spot on a wall, backing up exactly 25 feet, etc. Got it incredibly close by eye, drove it, made sure the beams were even, and called it a night.

The lca's are for a fox so I need to drill out the bushings to fit my hardware
