Trouble with shocks and lower arms
Im installing my CTR 5 lug conversion, and I also went with SRR lower arm. I have Tokico Illumina shocks and when I try to bolt up the shocks to the lower arm, there isnt enuff room. Or when I take off the lower arm and bolt up the shock, then try to bolt in the lower arm, again no room. The lower bracket of the shock hits the lower arm. Do Tokicos not work with the SRR arms or am I ******* up somewhere? Thanks

Re: Trouble with shocks and lower arms (EK9Rider)
Hold on Ill get a you a photo.
I have it all bolted in place now, but the lower shock bracket is resting hard against the SRR arm. I know the car wont be under full droop unless on a lift, but it still doesnt seem right. Like right now, if there was more room under the shock bracket, I know the suspension would droop further down.

I'm not, I would email the manufactuer of those LCA's and see if they are only compatible with a certain type of shock. If worst comes to worst you could take a belt sander or something along those lines and remove some metal in that area.
