    UPDATE ON ALIGNMENT ISSUE! So I ended up getting the JBA UCAs. Installed them the other night with my 13 year old daughter! She took the wheels off, was dangling from the floor jack trying to lift the car, and worked the grease gun! I guarantee none of her classmates were doing this while off school during Corona shut down. Anyways the install went smooth. The video sent from JBA was helpful as I had never done suspension work like this before. I test drove the 4RNR right after installation without having the alignment done and could tell right away the car tracked much better. After taking it back to the alignment shop the results came back with everything in spec this time. They were able to get the numbers spot on across the board. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all your help! This is a great forum and I really enjoy all the cool writeups!

    Anyone use Rocky Road Outfitters UCA on your 5th gen? Looks like a black version of the JBA. Plan on pairing it with some Radflo extended CO.

    They look similar but they an off the shelf ball joint which means they aren’t going to have a whole lot of articulation, definitely not enough travel for extended travel shocks. I’d pass.

    Interesting. Well I'm looking at JBA or Total Chaos then. Not sure i want the red accent color but not a deal breaker...
