It's a regular drop (~26" FTG) and it was fine with the stock FUCA. Only got the banging once I put the SPC arms on.

I had to raise mine to 26.75 because the SPC arms were hitting the fender going over small-ish bumps.

With the Teins? Damn that is high, that's damn near stock

Camber wasn't that bad with the stock arms, I just need to find the time to go back to stock

Its usually the shoulders around the ball joint where you loosen the bolts for adjustment. This area is a good bit longer/wider than the stock arm. Honda guys frequently have this issue. Its why most of the nicer (amd even SPC’s own higher end version) control arms adjust along the arms themselves rather than at the ball joint.

^that shoulder issue is resolved using g35 arms. i believe that was spcs solution from what i read here. but owners were still hitting and it was the caster adjustment part . idk im just going what i remember i could be wrong

Yes, with the Teins... But it's far from stock height. (Friends vert wheels I had on for a week or so).

Just figured something out. These springs sag a little over time. Car is a good 1/2" lower than when I settled on my height. In the front, no problem, plenty of room. In the back, no bueno, I'm tucking tire at what I remember being the top setting. I just ordered a spring spacer but I will see if I have adjustment room over the Thanksgiving break.

I will try and check how much room I have tomorrow night. But IIRC I was maxxed out on rear height. Maybe I didn't tighten the collars enough?

I need to raise my front end up. I was at 26 1/4 and they settled to 25 3/4...way to low, hitting some vertain bumps, well actually dips, UCA hitting top of wheel well I think. But, the ride is awesome with these CO and Sways, just what I was looking for. Almost like stock, but so much more planted, and barely any roll. Im very happy!
