    I needed new UCAs on my 03 after lifting the front at least 3 inches. I'm only gonna lift my 18' maybe 2 inches in the front. Is there any benefit to new upper control arms like total chaos? I know everyone says they aren't neccesary. until around 3" or more.

    The last time I did UCA's (on my first gen) I wished I would have just done everything when I swapped out the struts.

    I would for alignment purposes. You’re already under there so buy once, cry once.

    IMO it's a waste for 2 inches.

    That's what I figured. I was just wondering if there's any benefits to a uniball or delta joint arm, apart from lifted/level applications.

    If someone with stock suspension threw on delta joint ucas, would there be any posetives?
