Upper Control Arm.
From whay I've seen of Calmini's products, it's no great loss. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

They general make very nice products (the rear bumper I have is an example)...IF you can get them to make them for you. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

But the UCAs never did seem to provide much bang for the buck.

Good products. Disappointing customer service.

if you install the UCA from calmini do you still have to crank the torsion bars or do they remain at factory setting?

All the new control arms were for, was to allow the alignment to be brought back to within specs. They don't lift any at. You have to still crank the torsion bars to achieve lift.

heh, ultimately it's a moot point.

People who have them, have them... and people who don't, won't ever need to worry about it. Just like that $400 bolt-on solid front axle swap kit.

I don't know of anyone else that makes (made) them besides Calmini.

FWIW, some (most) of us here just do the ball joint flip with or without a spacer. All that involves is relocating the ball joint from the top of the arm to the bottom of the arm. Not hard, just unbolt and take it out and rebolt it in from the bottom. If need be, add a 1/4" spacer that Matt at Indy4x sells to allow it to be aligned to specs.
