    The strut spacer lift makes me hate this, and OP for posting it!

    srsly, though, how about a link at least? Who makes them? what are they made of? How much lift does it correct for? looks like a 6" spacer in that pic.

    aren't UCA's supposed to be adjustable

    these wouldn't have local US customer support or rebuildable parts offered separately

    I'm sure the Russianesium is more stout than the Chinesium metals. It's only your UCA - Go for it.

    Google translate from the link:

    "The lever was designed from 20mm monolithic steel, with the ability to install original accessories or an equivalent.
    Few people think that the suspension (when lifting the car) should maintain its travel, especially down.
    - By raising the car more than two inches, the downward travel is limited by the top ball. The load goes to the ball, and not to the rack, as expected (when hanging the front axle).

    -When lifting the machine over 2 inches, the caster angle is included from the factory tolerances.
    The steering is impaired, the “responsiveness” of the car is dulled, and it is difficult to return the wheels to the neutral position.

    - Because the subframe is 4 ", the machine is raised to 6". Calculated lift 2-2.5 inches

    -In the tuning lever, the ball is neutral when the car is raised.

    There was a tangible difference compared to the standard lever, in terms of the smoothness of the car and the increase in strokes. now the lever does not knock on the spring.
