Knuckle quesiton

Ok us awd guys have a little problem when we go too low on bc coilovers. What happenes is that our a-arms or camber arms hit the underside of the strut tower. So what I am thinking is the piece that connects to the arm, (I believe its call the knuckle) is shorter on a g rwd, coupe or z.

If they are that would give us some travel so they wont hit. What I ask is if someone with a rwd could measure that part for me.

Here is the pic I am thinking.

My coupe is on jacks right now I'll measure when I get home and I'll post up.

So you're wanting the measured distance from the lower control arm to the upper a-arm, correct?

Yes, like in the picture. That one part that both of them connect to.

Dont think that will help. I have 350evo arms and they still knock. But hey if you buy spl and they dont my 350evo will be up for sell then.
