Adjust LCA after UCA install?

I just installed my bmr upper control arm and mount. The car sits on the bmr 1.5” lowering springs. After putting my car back level on the shop floor. I noticed my rear end seems crooked. Pinion angle is set to -1° with respect to the driveline. svt pp wheels with 285 r888s

The problem I'm seeing is the passenger rear tire is further back in the wheel well. Driver's side is closer to the front in the wheel well. I did not adjust my lower control arms in the process. Do I now adjust them to center the wheels?

Anyone else experience this?

You should adjust them and have it aligned. I had a similar problem, after I adjusted my LCA and got aligned all was good.

Adjustment should be with the LCA's. Be sure to put some blue loctite on the lock nuts after getting it right.

When I talked to BMR Kelly I was advised to try to hit the 107.1" wheelbase. If that works, align the car there. If not, adjust as necessary and then align.
