Questions on replacing my upper control arms...
I have a 95 lude that is lowered 1.5 inches.
Prior to this, I had her dropped 2 inches.
However, with both ride height levels, I am experiencing the upper control arms making contact with the body of the car (in the rear) and the shock towers/fenders (in the front),
My question is... If I were to purchase and install shorter or adjsutable aftermarket upper control arms, will this solve my issues?
OR will installing these shorter UCAs solve the problem of where they are making contact with the vehicle (which is actually starting to affect the paint job in the rear), or will it just make things worse by allowing more rebound and, thus not making contact with the fenders/body but then cause the car to rebound farther and bottom out?
Any opinions?

The shocks I originally had installed with the 1st lowering kit were Tokico 5-way adjustables. However, the mechanic that just re-did my suspension last fall insisted on ordering the parts himself (claimed he would "warrenty his work" then). He put in Tokico blues (non-adjustables).
