Looks great!!...could you go into some detail about the difference in handling/ride quality?
I'd love to have something done like this, but I'm afraid it'll destroy my gas mileage, or dramatically reduce handling, as my TE is my DD.
Thanks for any input,
Pat

thanks for your comments, as to handling to soon to tell, but drove like 10 miles on freeway and felt great almost the same probably less body roll (to soon to tell) and a little stiffer on small bumps the rest great so far, also speed reading did not change due to tire size i put a garmin gps and the speed reading was the same, i will update information on handling and overall feel etc later, so far i'm loving it, looks great also, i parked outside costco and when i came out there was a guy taking pictures with his cell

Ok pardon my ignorance how come everybody who puts coilovers on does new UCA's? Due to the more travel provided by the coilover and more alignment adjustablty? Looks good though

That's pretty much it. Aftermarket UCAs typically provide: - A bit more alignment adjustability
- A bit more travel due to better designed ball joint
- A bit more clearance between tire and UCA
They typically aren't required unless you run into an issue with any of those 3 items. I think camber adjustment is probably the biggest issue with many of the taller lifts. (Similar to lowering a sports car, camber often becomes a problem.)

Ok thats what I thought I read up alittle first but thats all that came up. (I actually had to put a camber kit on my wifes old Honda we lowered)

I would love to see some pics of the rear shocks. After seeing your setup I am going to do the same thing. Those look mean. I don't plan on jumping my car or having the shocks get that hot, but those look mean.

Aren't After market arms most typically used to correct caster issues with the alignment? I know the Light Racing arms can add extra camber, but most non adjustable upper arms just add a few degrees of caster since a lift of 2.5"+ will often have caster alignment readouts of less than recommended.
Most Upper after-market arms will allow for extra suspension droop like you mentioned to accommodate extended travel Coilovers, but I don't think they all allow extra travel. I think some will bind up, not sure which ones though.
Magaca, Lift looks Awesome!! That suspension should take everything you throw at it and still beg for more!
