Hey man, I adjusted my RUCAs before I put em on. I centered the adjustment so that there was equal thread on both sides of the nut (so that it can be adjusted again later) and made it like a half inch longer than the stock arms, then squeezed those things in there. I dont know if thats the proper way but thats how i did it. I know you're supposed to center the nut on the threads.

car looks good.
i like it.
you should hear my car going over speed bumps, its not scraping, more like grinding. haha. ive learned to avoid speed bumps and driveways except maybe 4-5 times a month when its completely necessary. so lower is possible! but then again i think there is something wrong with my brain.
good luck.

Working on RUCAs at JT's
Amanda (JT's sister) GLI VWINDAHZ
Amanda & JT....golsfish ftmfw
Will be installed soon...waiting for rollbar next week
As it sits now...
Updated Plan:
Went to the shop and learned how to do an alignment but found out my left rear toe is -2.40 and right is -.10 (after adjust from -.35). When JT & I adjusted my RUCAs we actually got them perfect and my front camber and toe is also just about perfect. So I ordered some rear toe arms, which I already researched install and part, and should be installed as soon as they arrive next week I am hoping.
After that is aligned then I am going to save for awhile so I can invest in an lsd and some security and tint.
That's all for a little while....and maybe paint in there somewhere or at least some other odds and ends.
Do work!
