    Thanks. I love working on the XK and this install will be pretty easy. Then straight to the shop for alignment!

    Looking forward to seeing how that alignment comes out. You have specs of the current alignment right?

    When it goes in for alignment, they just align it to factory specs right? Also doesn't the print out show the current specs?

    Yup, just have it aligned to factory specs.

    The printout will show "before" and "after" specs, but i was more curious about how the specs changed between new control arms vs JBA control arms. But its not a big deal... when my arms go i'll be getting JBA regardless for the serviceability (i dont expect any bushings or balljoints to hold up to our abuse for long)

    With me changing out the lower control arms at the same time I really wouldn't be able to come up with before and after specs for the UCA'S. The LCA's will throw everything off.

    It would've just been a comparison of the best the alignment could be with stock arms and the best the alignment could be with JBA arms... a gauge of how much the new arms help get the alignment back to nominal as opposed to "just barely in spec" with the OEM arms. The LCA wouldn't throw it off that much; but its no big deal... just would have been interesting if you had the printout from your previous alignment to compare.
