Thank you Matt! That was exactly the feedback I was looking for. I tend to think JBA has over priced stuff IMO, but when it came to UCA's I wanted to make sure that extra 100$ is worth it.
Appreciate the feedback everyone!

I agree 100% that JBA is over priced. The only product I have of theirs is the UCA's and wouldn't go with any other company for them because they are worth every penny. Good choice, you will love them.

There's been a few "gens"... which ones in particular are you looking at (link)?
Personally, I didn't get the JBA's until the most recent gen (6.7) because their previous arms were designed around their coilovers and would cause the knuckle to hit the strut on non-coilover lifts. Although if I had the previous arms I probably wouldn't be inclined to swap them out for the new version, that was enough to prevent me from spending almost $500 on a new set of arms. Unless you're getting a really good deal on the older version, i'd get the new ones.
Tnx Matt, dude is selling 1st gen (Im waiting on pics) 30k on them with new ball joints for 150. Still not sure on it though.
I've been reading that the early generation were really for 4" lift and would make contact on my 2 in lift. The more I read the more I think I will pass. I'll post pics of them when I get them.

If they're the same gen that Adam has... and you need new UCAs... $150 isnt a bad price and definitely a huge step up from stock.
Hell the ball joints are worth about $70... offer $100 and beat them up for a few years; if you end up swapping them for the newer version when the joints wear out you won't be losing any money
Id do it for $150, doesnt seem like youre wheeling often and when you do it wont be that big of a deal either, thats a good deal... If I had the XK and needed them Id buy em
