Air Ride Questions. My Front cannot tuck
Hey guys, i just got my bag installed today and everything looks great, but im having a problem tucking the front. My rear tucks very nice when it is air it out, but my fronts cant. The shop says my Upper A Arm is hitting the top. i have Megan front upper camber arm. does anyone have this issue? how are you guys getting the front tucked well? do i need to go back to my OEM Upper Arm? here are some pictures of my front sitting right now.

Just a guess...but I think the rim offset is the issue. For an 18x9 to air out completely you'd probably be looking at +35 to +40 offset...probably in the middle somewhere would be enough.
I can't really see the upper control arm hitting anything...when they said it was hitting the "top"...what is the "top" they are referring to?
Just a suggestion...if you have any of the original F Sport wheels (preferably the front ones), put two on the front and air out...bet ya money it hits the ground...thus confirming the suspension in not the issue.
Or if you have two spare tires...put those on and air out.

Or use the spare tire and grab the spare tire from another car. Because the spares are smaller, if the arm is hitting something, you might be able to see around the spare to figure out what it is.

The megan UCA is hitting your strut tower.
Like Sasnuke said, throw on your oem wheels and see what's hitting.
I know when I added an adjustable UCA I couldn't tuck in the front. I ended getting shortened spindles.
