You are an auto, do you even have wheel hop? I had zero even when stock...
If your drop is less then 1.25" you may not even need a UCA. Most don't run them. With a mild drop I would just do LCA's, relocation brackets and adjustable panhard rod. Plus from what I hear the UCA is a bitch to install, the main bolt is torqued to like 300 ft lbs I think.Not sure yet. Yesterday was the first day with the new springs. I normally take it easy at first, re-torque everything, then "Test".
I can say the tires spin sooner. Looks like with a stable car I need more traction and will begin the research path for the next set of tires...
I will do a UCA for reasons I mentioned earlier. I care about keeping my drive-lines and such at the angles they can thrive in.
Having built jeeps from a 3B up to a YJ... I have had more than a few adventures with pushing my luck all the way to a new set of driveshafts being the first items purchased as the lift was next...
That is also why I started this thread. I am a total noob with Stangs and need to learn before I just do.
Its an easy install. Especially on coyote cars since the tank doesnt need to come down. Only part thats even slightly hard is torquing the bolt on top of the differential.

Oh no tank drop? Thought that was all S197's?
You don't really have to drop the tank on any of them. You can just loosen the strap bolts up till they are barely in there and the tank ill drop enough to get the UCA mount out.
And when you are done all you do is press the tank up with your hand and tighten the straps down.
I've done the above with full tanks with no trouble at all.
What is a torque arm? Seriously, I have no idea...
In other news... Rims got mounted today and I installed the PHB... Getting the factory one out was a crowbar fun fest... Love the adjustment of the Steeda, but not to sure about how it bends so easily...
Alignment scheduled for in the morning. Then I will check all the torqued items and go to my favorite "Cough" down hill testing spot and see how much english she wants now...
Or you could just bipass this UCA bullshit all together and go with a torque arm. I did... once the UCA was out... DONE! it is staying the fuck out now!
It was probably the relocation brackets. I did adjust my pinion angle when I installed the upper so that could have been a factor. I had a mild driveline vibration at 85 mph after lowering the car, after adjusting the pinion angle to -2, the vibration is gone until at least 125 mph.Thank you RED. I find it interesting that you also (If I am understanding your info) found less traction once you put the Steeda's under your car. For me it is like driving on a wet road. Easy to spin the wheels.
What do you think gave you back your traction in the kit you purchased?
