Front LCA rear bushing mount height

[Bill Waters]

A few forum members have made spacers (or used the washer-stack method to elevate the front LCA rear bushing mounts (see build manual for reference). I haven't seen anyone mention their method of deciding what the mounting height should be, and it's not revealed in the manual.

My logic about this is to elevate it by the same amount as the front LCA bushing is located above "S" height. Since the upper aspect of the rear LCA mount fits, in the S, to the bottom of the mounting tab, it seems one should subtract that plus the thickness of the mounting tab from the total front S to R mounting hole span. So, it's [total front hole span - (tab thickness + rear control arm bushing housing mounting "wing" thickness)] = 0.33" thickness the spacer needs to be.

Anybody have any other view on this?

check my, and Plaven's Build threads... we both went back and forth between us and FFR to get the right measurements. Lots of measuring He has all the proper measurements now in his thread.

So, I don't understand why the spacers are not provided if you order an R?

Same reason they don't have spacers for the UCA's

They sell you an R but don't provide the proper instructions or parts

is that for the original kits and have been changed, or it's just the way it is for all the R kits? Kinda like buying a 4 wheel drive truck but the button to put it in 4 wheel drive does not come with the truck...... makes no sense...

Thanks, Longisland.

you don't get proper instructions or parts for an S in many areas either...

Fyi- I have only one extra set of R spacer blocks- send PM if interested.
