Default Calling anyone with stance gr+

I'm trying to lower my car a little more in the front but I can't seem to get to the locking collar on the lower mounting bracket because of the upper control arm. My question is, do i have to take off the nut and bolt holding the uca in again just to get to the locking collar or is there another way around it? Thanks in advance

I had to use a flat head screw driver and hammer to loosen the locking ring. It's better to put electrical tape on the end of the screw driver so it doesn't damage the ring.

I hear a compression sound when ever I go into dips in the road. Is that what you are talking about?
