you might think that, but i think the front RCA makes releases the stress of the balljoint at the same time drop it. when you drop the car the UCA has to go somewhere which is up. when the UCA moves up the arm moves in as well. closer to the bag when dumped completely. which causes rubbing. depending how low you drive. im just worried about dumping it completely when im at car meets and pop. i'm going to call zack or raymond at UAS on monday. ill have the details.

yea let me know what Ray says about the brackets. also, does UAS even claim that its suppose to take care of that problem or recognize that it exists? and now that I think about it... being that its a defect in a product (custom or not) we as buyers shouldnt have to pay to fix something they created

as for the function ( I havent installed mine yet, so dont yet know) I thought that when deflated it completely raised it out of the way of the control arm and when deflated, both the bag and arm moved up out of each others way... IDK, know I'm getting discouraged

im switching to air with coil's long story shh dont tell anyone lol. i just want air lol. i got everything pretty much it should be together real soon pictures will be up soon. UAS said that those brackets fixed the problem but i dont think they put the RCA drama into consideration. they made the bracket to clear enough, not major clearance imo. im not talking down on UAS or anything but im just trying to make things clear.
heres a picture of my friends car with front RCA's and those brackets on top of that, he also got custom bags, much much shorter. and when its aired down, it still touches.

the problem seems to lie in the amount of camber you have in the front. the more negative camber the more likely the banana steering knuckle will rub the bag. The bracket and the rca help the bag clear the UCA but not the steering knuckle.
the only solution is to either get a new steering knuckle, or a set of lca/uca setup that can effectively move the steering knuckle away from the bag, or just run the airrunner type bags that are slimmer.
