That is correct.

And therein lies the problem, if you move the FLCA pickup points up, because the rack would also need to go up along with the FLCA pickup points so that the tie rods' arc and the FLCAs' arc will stay in sync.

If not, the car will get some nasty bumpsteer. that pretty much cannot be corrected due to the 2 having totally different arcs.

Edit - if you move the FLCAs' pickup point, then the T/C rods' pickup points will have to move up the same amount as well.

Think about it.

If you moved the FLCAs' pickup points by an inch, and if you flattened it, the T/C rods will no longer be parallel to the FLCAs anymore. They'd be pointing up in order to meet the FLCAs, and probably no way for them to bolt up to the FLCAs because of the angle that they're in, so they will need to be moved up an inch as well.
