Default Question about DAs

I heard somewhere that when you lower a DA too much the upper control arm i think it was hits something? Can someone with a lowered DA tell me if they had to do anything to go low. Low enough to tuck some tire. Thanks in advance

you can go pretty damn low before worrying about uca to tower clearance. i think its like 5 inches before you have to cut your towers

Shock tower contact occurs when a sliding or offset balljoint camber kit is installed. They're all taller than stock, reducing the available travel. Leave the stock UCA in place, and you can slam the car (with stiff enough spring rates) and not really worry about UCA to shock tower contact.

i'm not using coil overs or a camber kit. stock everything except for eibach sport line springs, and it sits pretty low and doesn't rub, or hit anything. not tucked, but, ehh, you get the idea.
