SPL doesn't make a rear UCA unfortunately, but Racer X does, so I might grab some Racer X rear UCAs down the road for the weight savings and to eliminate the last rubber bushings in the suspension.

I'm very happy with how things are right now. Perfect 50/50 weight balance, perfect alignment (no cross toe, cross camber, cross caster, exactly the specs I want), and it just really feels tight and put together now.

Can't wait to get back out on track again. We'll see if I have another chance before the end of the year. It's looking like it might be 2020 before I can go again.

How is the NVH from all the SPL parts (heim joint bearing) I wouldn't expect much being they are teflon lined but am curious. I am thinking about going the same route myself. I've heard noting but positive things about the feel.
