STEP 1

We can now head into the wheel well. Remove 18mm nut that holds endlink to strut. (Figure- 4 Green)

Remove 15mm bolt that holds front upper control arm using a T50 and a 15mm socket. (Figure 5 Yellow)

STEP 3

INSTALLING UNPLUGGED PERFORMANCE FRONT UPPER CONTROL ARM

Prior to installing UP front upper control arm, move quick change pill to the position that you will mostly be using your car (street or track). Once this is set, place back into position and reinstall 13mm bolts on either side. (21ftlbs) Once set, install arm as they state which side they correspond too. (Figure- 7)

Retorque all to recommended specs below once vehicle is on its own weight.

SWITCHING PILL:
To switch pill, jack up one side untill wheel is about to come off the ground but doesn’t. Remove both upper allen bolts and push arm up and away. Rotate pill 180 degrees and reinsert pill into arm. Retighten allen bolts.
SETTING TOE:
Once pill has been switched you will need to complete one full turn of the oem tie rod in order to correct toe. The easiest way to do this is to make a clear line across the tie rod across the rod, thread and locking nut. Next complete your one full turn either going out if you switched pill from track to street or turn tie rod coming in if you switched from street to track. 1 full turn can also be measure as 2 threads or 1/8th inch.

NOTE:

THIS WILL BRING YOUR TOE BACK CLOSE TO 0 BUT IT IS NOT EXACT. FOR FINE TUNING AN ALIGNMENT IS NECESSARY. THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO DRIVE WITH VERY LITTLE TOE WEAR

For camber adjustment, move both turnbuckles in for negative camber or out for positive camber.

It's on a medium setting, and I think if I had...

Purchased a 19 x 9.5 UP-03 wheels. They look awesome, feel lighter when you're steering, and I'm able to gain 1-2 % of range when driving around town. Shahar helped me through the purchasing process and set me up with a relatively painless cross-border shipping arrangement. Keep up the good work!
