    I have purchased fabtech upper control arms but have had no luck finding anything as far as reviews. Has anyone installed these and if so what are your thoughts?

    Ballsy move buying suspension parts without any input from others who have them. Someone's gotta be the guinea pig. Nice work.

    Coworker has them on his 2012. No complaints... they're similar to the icon tubulars and around 100 bucks cheaper. Fabtech only makes a uniball UCA as far as I know.

    Brand new for 150. Ballsy huh pigpen. For 150 it was worth even to resale. But thanks for the input. All i want to know is if anyone has ran them and if they had any issues before i put them on.
