^^^ I believe the reason is when you have fixed LCAs and a adjustable UCA you would only have to adjust one part. If the situation was switched you would have to adjust two parts, and there would be more of a chance of the LCA not being the exact same length. Keep in mind that the UCA is more difficult for access for adjustment.

Im installing Koni yellows, steeda hd strut mounts, steeda billet LCAs with relo brackets, and steeda adj UCA. I already have pro-kit springs and steeda adj panhard bar.

my question is, will a performance shop know how to adjust the UCA to fix the pinion angle? My plan was to do the install of everything with one of my buddies on his lift. Then take it to a performance shop to adjust caster, camber, and pinion angle.

They should know, but why pay someone?...especially if you have access to a lift.
You can adjust it yourself in 5 minutes, IMO installing all your other suspension parts yourself requires more effort .

Get a set of rhino ramps and some cheap wrenches from tractor supply, if you don't have tools all ready. It is not rocket science to adjust the pinion angle and you really can't mess it up with the stock drive shaft.

my reasoning for taking it somewhere was because i needed to get the front wheels computer aligned anyway because of the steeda strut mounts. figured i may as well have them adjust the rear too!

^^^ If you know the shop well, they may even adjust it for free because it is that easy.
