The advantage to an an adjustable UCA is the ability to address pinion angle issues, especially when lowered and hitting the launch-pad.

I like the UPR stuff so far as design, but only for a DD with moderate twisties. I have really changed my overall opinion on UCA's in general, as I recommend one go the next step for any kind of aggressive performance. If one is going to be a grocery-getter and 1/4 mile only, and particularly with sticky's.... go Team Z or Kenny Brown UCA's.

If you want the to go hardcore in EVERY facet of performance..... go WL or PHB with TA.

If you plan on a average performance oriented ride, nothing extreme, you will be satisfied with that purchase.

well i have the UPR LCA PRO series with stock uppers and love them you don't need uppers. At my power level, i hook 2nd gear no problems with BF Goodrich KDWs on the street.

I highly recommend them them for the money and over all value.
