  1. UCA - Decisions decisions

    So I have now returned from my first trackday in the Super snake. The track is 16 turns over 1.6 miles with a laguna seca like corkscrew. The track was technical and I had few places to unwind that monster engine. Here is my final review on the roush uca.The car performed amazingly. Above all...
  2. UCA - Decisions decisions

    So the salt finally rained away and I tested the car on some local roads today. New from last year is removed relo brackets, truetrac and roush UCA.The truetrac Just works. No more 1 wheel spinning, No sounds, excellent piece of hardware, and Im really happy with it.And, finally, the rear...
  3. UCA - Decisions decisions

    No luck on the file. However from what I could dig up (dont ask me where) the top PWC cars used the stock UCA, no relocation relocation brackets. I wonder how the UCA held up though, mine was cracked and worn at 10K miles (and 15 years).

  5. UCA - Decisions decisions

    Today I got the car on the ground and did some measurements for the calculator. Being a total newbe in this rear axle geometry game, I would suggest nobody take my numbers very seriously, and Im sure somebody will tell me what Ive done wrong and Im very open for the possibility of being...
  6. UCA - Decisions decisions

    Could you send me this file, it does not open for some reason.Anyways a little update, being off season with snow outside I decided to give the Roush uca a try. I figured if it worked on Billy Johnsons race cars, it Will work for me as well. Install was a breeze, I had to drop the fuel tank on...
  7. UCA - Decisions decisions

    From a bit of Reading, im starting to think you Are correct. I have been so obsessed with the 3rd link as its the last piece not replaced yet, that I May need to rethink and ask a conpletely different question :With my setup, the rear end feels unstable, how can I fix it? Ill look into watts...
  8. UCA - Decisions decisions

    Hm. The torque arm makes a lot of sense. It says on the cortex site that it requires adjustable lower arms, not sure why. Does it move the axle off center maybe?On a sidenote, have you ever tried the oem uca with upgraded lower arms and did you feel that the rear end was instable with that...
  9. UCA - Decisions decisions

    So short arm better corner exit.But Long arm more consistent, what does that mean for handling.Also, with my fixed lower arms, Will I not need an adjustable upper arm, and what would the result be if I run say a roush uca and run into pinion angles of Day - 4* as js mentioned?All I really...
  10. UCA - Decisions decisions

    Yes sir, its nose heavy for sure, but its a street car used for a couple of trackdays a year, not a race car, so Im ok with that.The problem drives me crazy on spirited drives on twisty Mountain roads, and a fix for this rear end instability would make me very happy with my setup.
  11. UCA - Decisions decisions

    Aah the torque arm, very interesting setup, but if im not mistanken I would need adjustable lca's pushing the price up towards 1500$? Its a bit on the pricey end for me, and this is a street car for the most part, but I would love to hear a detailed handling comparison on the Ta vs 3rd link setup.
  12. UCA - Decisions decisions

    Ive always been a fan of rubber. The No bind, No maintenance with minimal NVH nature of them is ideal.What benefit Will the faster switching properties of the short arm give me? And Just what does the Long arm do in terms of handling?
  13. UCA - Decisions decisions

    In those very technical terms i have No idea what I want. As a driver I want more stability in the rear end to increase my confidence in the car when pushing it. Obviously without the bind issues of a poly bushing. Im wondering how the short roush compare to the oem 11-14 arm, Both being rubber...
  14. UCA - Decisions decisions

    Hi all, Im new to this forum but I have been reading with great interest for a long time and cant help but notice that there is a lot of knowledge in this forum. However, I have read up and down virtually all posts on the UCA upgrade for a long time, and Im struggling to find a conclusion. I...
