More UCA options - Eibach and Nitro-Gear?
Hey all, been doing some reading on UCAs for our rigs, and ran across a couple of interesting options that I hadn't seen before, and wondering if anyone has any experience or knowledge with either of these:
Eibach Pro-Alignment Toyota Adjustable Front Upper Control Arm Kit #5.25480K
This one is adjustable and looks real similar to the SPC UCAs, $619 MSRP.
Says it offers +/-2 degrees of camber, no mention of caster.
Nitro-Gear Extended Travel Ball Joint Style #NPUCA-T120
Similar design to others, available from ToyTec and other vendors, $616 MSRP.
Says it adds +3 degrees caster.
These options are fairly affordable, but couldn't find more info. Any thoughts?

Johhny come lately's. Both are probably good quality and do what they say and no more. Just more UCA's to choose from. Personally sold on SPC.

Those eibach arms are just rebranded SPC arms. Within the part number 5.25480K is the SPC part number 25480: Specialty Products Company | SPC Alignment | The Automotive Alignment Leaders
those arms in particular are the half forged, half tube style which is the older generation arm. The new ones are all forged.

I have the old design, and apparently some of had issues with cracks at the tube to bushing interface. Although I think those were mostly on an even earlier version which was all tube. I have not had those issues.

No experience with either, but both are great companies. Not sure if you already looked at the ironman. +4° camber built in, non adjustable. I put some on the FJ last weekend along with Eibach stage 2 coilovers and fifth gen 4runner brake swap. 60mm Dobinson dust caps for the arms perfectly
