Ok, heres some help, remove the SRR LCA's and put OEM ones back on, then your car wont be jacked an extra 1/2" and you wont blow shocks.

Why did you install aftermarket LCA's anyways? They are just bling pieces, aside from saving like .37 lbs on each side.

Actually aside from them being super bling and 1 pound lighter the SPC versions are actually a bit shorter for lowered cars to reduce negative camber

The SRR LCA's are the exact dimensions of a stock LCA. Lighter, more bling, and just as strong if not stronger than stock. People can say what want about bling parts, but these parts actually provide some use. 2lbs. lighter per side is all I have to say.

I think he installed the right way.

For the author, are you using EK LCA on your Del Sol chassis (which is the same as EG, right?) I thought 5th gen uses round end shocks where the 6th gen uses fork?
