The actual arm hits on the coil spring bucket when atriculating..also speed bumps also entering a driveway...plenty of other places. It hits basically because on its way down it stops on the coil bucket/chassis.

Those are the ones.are you running stock springs?i initially ran some 2.5' spacers up front which was fine untill you do some 4x4 work...upper control arms will knock on the coil bucket....this gets anoying very quickly..if you have a d40 front lifted to 2.5' or above and want to use it you will need new upper control arms or at least extended ball joints.heaps of info here about them.
Compressing for fitting new springs? ....if you have a press or a spring fitting tool.then go for it its pretty easy...if you only have spring compressors then definatly dont do it..its really dangerous..i have a press so i fitted mine with the shock bolted into the lower part of the press and i made a jig to match the spring hat..no chance of of that spring flying out and you loosing a finger or 5...
I put in an Ironman 40mm lift in my Spanish built D40. I only got 25mm lift in the front where the rear was the 40mm. To counteract this I have ordered some 10mm strut spacers for the front to hopefully even out the level of the car.
Given the front has only lifted 25mm with the suspension lift I don't anticipate the extra 10mm spacer will require replacement of the UCA's.
50mm total lift is fine with stock UCAs...63mm or 2.5' gets them clanging on the big bumps.
