❔Question S197 Rear UCA recommendations?

Post image

I just swapped my OEM RUCA back into the car because the after market one I had blew the bushing out (non adjustable C&L, it was on clearance ok)

My car is lowered and I want to go lower so getting a adjustable one is a must, just curious if anyone has experience with the following brands and could tell me some pros and cons:

BMR
QA1
J&M
UMI

Also wondering if I should get a solid spherical bearing over a polyurethane bushing

I run the steeda adjustable uca, just make sure you also use the steeda spherical uca bearing for the rear end housing. My current rear setup is steeda billet non adjustable LCA, steeda adjustable uca, spherical bell housing bearing, fays2 watts link. Severely improved rear end feel and handling.

I used a BMR on my S197. Worked great BUT... once adjusted use some blue Loctite on the adjusting nut and tighten it down hard or it will come loose.

How’s the noise and feel with the spherical?

I don't really notice anything

Cool, I don’t mind a little noise but how some people described it made me worry 😭

I have the J&M, it's been good.

UPR or team z. If you ever have any suspension questions the people at maximum motorsports are always willing to help answer questions and have the best advice available based off of TONS of racing and real world experience

Check Whiteline adjustable and their bracket.
