    I've read that's hit or miss, depends on what setting you set your front 5100s at. I chose the 1.75" setting because I didn't want to risk having to replace the UCAs. Seems to be hit or miss. Some people report being able to get proper alignment without the UCAs, some people say they couldn't get the alignment in spec until they put the adjustable UCAs on. If you stay at the 1.75" setting you should be just fine, I don't think I've heard of anyone having to get UCAs at the 1.75" setting. There is enough adjustability in the OEM parts to align it. I think the adjustable UCAs start at around $350ish a set and go up from there depending on what you get.
