SPC came out with a different version of their FUCA's which are probably better for adjusting. I had Z1, now I have SPL FUCA's.
Thank you. I'm glad someone else pointed that out. The Eibach rep I talked to said the same thing because the springs will lower the car less than an inch, but I thought I'd change them just in case they needed adjustment. I looked at the Z1 FUCA and compared it to the SPL part on the Z1 website. I see the issue you mentioned. You saved me a headache and I appreciate that.

I'll go with stock replacements. I'm still going to replace them but only because I'll have to pull them out to replace the bushings and I'll address the ball joint while I'm there.
