30mm

The poll is for two weeks.

I would expect sometime in July timeframe.

 

[jdk_ii]

Find a Fastenal in your local area. They have every bolt imaginable.

You may want to use Grade 8. The metric equivilant designation is 10.9.

Once the first set is installed (probably by me!), I'll show some pics.

Ha ha. JK Logo stickers.

Mr. Malloy always says JK Motorsports.

Much thanks goes to you guys who make it possible.
I couldn't really front the $ to have an in-stock product.

Well, we're at 10, 5 more to go and this could be for real!

I have to get them anodized in lots, which may be clear
or boring black. If you want to have them anodized yourself,
that's possible, though I suspect the lot charge would be high.

These won't be visible with aftermarket wheels and the JK BBK, will they? If so, we should anodize them the same color as the Wilwood caliper???

They won't be visible, unless you look from underneath the car.

 

[jdk_ii]

Well, we're close to 15.

I suspect after the NJ meet, I may have some more orders.

So, expect a post about payment information mid-June.

It looks like the 15 minimum buy is there...

Will post details soon.

Hi Jim,

I just signed up on Paypal.
What information do you need from me besides the payment?

Thanks,
Carlos

Paypal will have your shipping address, so all you need
to do is send payment.

I figure they will be done mid-July.

 

[jdk_ii]

They will be likely 30mm in height. This to deal with Eibach's or Suspension Techniques springs.

The idea behind a RCA is to restore the angle of the lower suspension arm.

Since it has a fixed pivot point (on the frame), lowering springs
create an angle "UP" towards the outboard pivot (the ball joint
in this case).

You've installed a set of lower springs. Say Eibachs. They drop
the the suspension 1". Your car now sits lower.

Since the inboard pivot point of the lower control arm doesn't change,
its outboard point in space moves up 1".

Insert a spacer to lower this pivot point, this restores the lower
control arm to it's original angle.

Note that this outboard pivot point is the ball joint, combined with
the steering arm.

So, with a RCA, it's all back to stock.

 

[jdk_ii]

Well, with lower springs, the ball joint is now pivoted more
towards it's outside limit.

Add RCAs, it brings it back to normal.

 

[jdk_ii]

Isn't the amount of droop of the control arm when the car is on a hoist determined by the length of the extended strut insert? Kind of hangs off it?So regardless of what the balljoint is doing, the control arm+wheel etc is going to want to hang down MORE than stock... the length of the fully extended damper+30mm instead of just the length of the fully extended damper.

There are several possible "stops" in the front suspension
when on a lift.

The actually shock travel, the front strut rods, the steering rack pivots,
the ball joints and some from the front sway bar.

Which one "stops" first, I don't know, but given it's hanging weight,
the only concern I would have would be putting a few hundred extra
pounds on the hanging suspension.

At that point, one will also experience unitized body flex.

Will the longer bolts be included?

Probably not. I have to buy in the hundreds and have
just way too many misc bolts...

30 June is the deadline!
