    Looking to purchase upper control arms for my 08', was wondering if anyone has had any luck with Specialty Products Company uca's? or if they have a good product reviews. Can get a set for $400 on Amazon. I was looking to get total chaos but i can save 150 going this route…i also want something dependable and don't mind spending the extra money on chaos. Your input is greatly appreciated…

    I will also consider a used set if anyone out there has a set for sale…thanks!

    Never seen anyone talk about those. Light Racing UCAs can be gotten for right around $400, sometimes less and lots of people on here use those. I'd probably go that route if you're looking to save a little money.

    I'm pretty sure the spc and the lr ucas are the same. I think spc is lr's parent company. I run them and like them.

    The LR UCA's can be used for extended travel right???

    To me though, the uniball design (TC, Icon, Chamburg ect) just look much stronger.
