Default For those of you wth Z10 trac. bars, need a quick answer!!!

I just got around to instaling the Z10's last night on the Civic, pretty straight forward with a couple hiccups here or there, nothing major (had to hack my charge pipe right off the turbo to clear the Z10 support fame)..

Anyways, my question is, which way do I preload the LCA's?? The instructions tell you to turn the arms CW for give postivie caster, CCW for negative, but it doesn't specify which one i'm looking for? After installing them, I turned the arms till I found the "neutral" setting where I could feel zero resistance on the arm meaning the LCA was centerd, so what I need to know now is, do I pull the LCA to the front of the car to preload, or do I push the LCA towards the back of the car?? Any help would be apprieciated as always

pipes don't clear on a drag 3 ls. mine didnt fit w/o modification, and a little over a month ago i installed some for a friend of a friend and they didnt clear either. I don't understand why they fit on your GSR...that driverside u-bend piece should be indentical for both cars.

Well, mine fit on the Civic, but like I said, it was a TIGHT fit as you can see here:

I am using the maxrev manifold that positions the turbo differently, but I don't see how it is enough to matter...

exactly what doesnt clear and what did you have to modify? how much did it cost for some z10 bars for a LS? i really want one of those so i dont get left behind at launches.
