    A general rule of thumb is don't lift it so high that the boot fins rub. You want to be able to see a little gap between the fins of the boot.

    Wait, OP, you have aftermarket UCA's? and its still a problem? how about you others? im ordering my Toytec Coilovers probably next week, and was planning on getting UCAs over the summer.. if the CVs are gonna 'Shit The Bed' either way, why waste $500... any input is helpful, im also going to go back and check that other CV thread.. Thanks!

    The after market UCAs have nothing to do with lowering the CV angles. The aftermarket UCAs allow for correct alignment and more articulation.
