Just received my set of umi boxed lower control arms and have to say they appear very well made. Fitment is great. I weighed them and it saves roughly 1.5 lbs per side. Sending it off for alignment next week. never used a roto joint end and will update after first autocross and any pro/cons I see in them.

For those who are interested in weight etc.

I believe that the tech people at UMI once told me it is possible to damage the delrin races (or whatever they make the internal spherical containment races from) from too high a pressure grease gun, but I think that they were speaking of a compressed air version, not a hand held one.

I over-grease mine slightly to help ward off the 'salt soup' ingress during the winter months, as my car is driven year 'round, unlike most on here.

I would call them, just to be sure about the frequency of lubing them, for your given useage.
