Upper A arm trimming

[metros]

I know I'm going to have to trim the upper a arms to get where I can adjust -1.5 to -2.0 degrees of camber.

How much did you cut off the black connector tube and studs? Or how long is your cut down connector tube and studs?

Thanks, hoping to tackle these tomorrow.

If you cut down the tube and run a swaybar it's pointless. I cut down the tube (.2" per side? removed the non hex part on each end) but it turns out if you go in that far the driver side hits the swaybar when straight and the passenger side knuckle adapter hits the swaybar during a right hand turn. Just cut the studs to be slightly shorter combined than the tube.

Good info - I am about to do all this on mine as well.
