So I've ran the times in my sig. Here's what my suspension consists of.I've got stock shocks and struts. With cj springs and non adjustable lower control arms. And relo brackets. And I run consistent 1.6 60fts! So here's my question
I have a brand new adjustable uca sitting in the garage. What would I benefit from installing it?
I think the 1.6's are pretty respectable with what I have.

I was in the same boat as you were... cutting 1.6s with similiar mods (stock springs/shocks, just LCA's w/brackets). When I put in the UCA w/mount I noticed my 60ft times became more consistent, not to mention that I also got rid of this annoying clunk... which I would assume was coming from that piece of crap stock UCA mount. I would definately recommend upgrading the UCA w/mount. Your launches should be more consistnet and you won't have to worry about bending the stock mount.

Mount

I understand the point in having a stronger mount.
I consistently pull 1.6 all day!
Maybe it could help me run low 1.6's?
I have some skinnies I'm gonna run next
Time I go also!

Damn, maybe that's my problem since I put my LCAs in!

If you are cutting 1.6 sixty foots i dont think there is a great deal of improvement to be had. It will help some maybe 2 tenths if you lower your sixty. Be prepared for the new vibration in your car and its a pain in the ass to install yourself without a lift its a 2-3 hour job.

I don't get any added vibration since I installed my J&M Extreme UCA, and it's not a poly end either. What I will say is that I do hear the gears in the rear more than before.
