    LR makes an excellent UCA that has a quality no other control arm other than a heim join style UCA has, and that is the ability to adjust castor. TC and Camburg UCAs have a fixed amount of castor that is added to the geometry of the UCA and cannot be adjusted.

    There are also disadvantages of the LR UCA, like the fact that it utilitzes a ball joint. The ball joint does not have as much articulation as a uni ball and is not is strong either, although does not require any maitanace.

    For the average user, the LR UCAs are more then enough in strength, although if you are going to be going to be hauling ass off road or utilitzing extended length coil overs, a uniball UCA is the only way to go.

    I just called them and they said the LRs are not any narrower than stock UCAs. So I would most likely still have a rubbing issue.

    just received my LR UCA's today in the mail. They came in a box that was red and said SPC performance, specialty products company. Just making sure everyone else is the same way, no where does it say light racing. thanks, :confused:

    Any chance you guys could take some pictures of the stock UCA and LRs side by side?
    I'm still thinking there would a bit more clearance given the width of the rolled stock UCA.

    When you put these on, make sure you get the gold bracket on correctly (flat side with SPC stamp out). It's possible to put it on backwards and it won't align right.
