Why not just get Ingalls and then you have
1) stiffer
2) cheap
3) adjustable

Craig - Who says screw this JDM crap, get what does the job right for the lease amount of money

I obiviously don't know, or I would not be asking, but I though the JDM UCAs were less expensive then ingalls. I really don't know though.

On Special and in stock $100
Not sure what the Ingalls ones go for, but for someone who doesn't plan on adjusting the arms and just wants a bolt on and leave it solution this is fine.

JDM rear UCAs may be stronger, but why would anyone want to add *more* rear camber?

My guess is because in JDM land the 23mm rear sway rotation problems needed to be addressed, and more rear camber in the rear solved those issues.

Now, if the JDM pieces took away rear camber, I'd be all over them!

I've personally seen the Ingalls rear kit fall apart...all the bushings got all mashed.....

my money is on SRR now....

Though I use the 98spec UCA myself.....

because my rear tires only touch the ground on the outer 1/2 of the tread surface.
