Avoid FUCA hitting - Which brands?

I see SPC Fuca's will lead to hitting metal under the front wheel wells. Does anyone know if this will be a problem with SPL FUCAs?

Also, I did read one post about corner balancing getting rid of this problem which is common with every FUCA out there, anyone experience this?

The hitting only occurs if you are really low. I'm lowered a little over an inch and have SPL FUCA and have no issues.

This is issue is not related to corner balancing, that in short does what it says, you are adjusting the corner weights to be equal. It does not dictate if your UCA will knock or not.

​​​​​​SPL FUCAs are one of the best options for this chassis.

Thanks brother, I have a 6MT sedan as well. I do plan on dropping about 2-2.5 inches all around so I will be pretty low

If it's unavoidable at this height, I will just settle for SPC as I don't ever plan on tracking the car

You could try shaving the top and or modify the body of the car and see if it works. Another way is if you have a sedan to use COUPE FUCA which are a bit longer and might give you the camber you want and wont hit.

I believe what you're referring to is clocking of bushings and not corner balancing.

Corner balancing - move weight around the corners to obtain a 50/50 weight ratio or close to

Bushing clocking - the action of setting the tightened angle of your bushings so they help with the bounce not bottoming out when bounding.

Clocking bushings usually can't be done on aftermarket suspension components since they usually spin with the arm as well.
