5100s vs Spacers

gegundez · Nov 29, 2008

So getting back on topic, now that we understand we should get some cheap aftermarket UCAs - what is the answer?

Do the experts think 5100s or Coil Spacers are the best option?

sorry...back off topic...I'm going to go spend $1200 on new tires. I wouldn't wait to see if they were wearing funny before I got my alignment back in spec, but that's just me.

Out of the two, The 5100's are the better choice. They both compress the spring to achieve the lift, but the 5100's are valved propperly for the increased spring rate.

Thanks for the advice. I put the order in for the 5100s and will put my RL spacers up for sale.

I priced the TC UCAs and they are NOT cheap, $669 for upper only + extras (urethane, etc).

So I think I will run the 5100s at 1.75 until I can bank enough $$ to get the good stuff then raise it back up to full height and add the OME coils.

Thanks again.

The TC upper control arms should include everything, bushings, grease zerks, etc. Where are you priceing them from?
