if they are the solid stainless ones, i bought a set powdercoated red with poly bushings and ball joints installed. they are a great improvement for caster adjustment and strength but lightweight they are not. i spraybombed mine black. for a drag only car i would spend more on lightweight tubular but for a street/strip like mine, i like them.

I'm running them, so far so good. Love the fact I can get to +3 degrees caster and -.25 degrees camber with plenty of adjustment to spare.

That is the stainless version and yes it did come with bushings and ball joint. Checking their site just now I couldn't locate the stainless complete UCA, do they still offer it?

I question the use of stainless, its not an ideal welded material for this application, it looks nice, it resists rusting, but it is prone to cracking and fatigue to a greater extent in this application then 1020 type steels, and there is of course the extra cost for little if any strength advantages. Seems to me just give the buyer what they want.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
