I put a set of cognitos upper control arms on my lifted NNBS this past weekend, Let me first say that the quality of the arms are top notch and much nicer than i anticapated. The fitment was just like if not better than OEM. The install took a little over an hour and a half, and i had no problems what so ever with them. Look at the photos to see the build quality and fitment of the arms as well as the new angles they achieve.
OEM vs. COGNITO

The ride is actually a little different on the pavement, but where it is way more noticable is on the trails. the extra down travel of the arms make going into dips and ruts alot more predictable and also smoother. Definately worth the money, i only got them because i had a bad upper balljoint and for the bolt in balljoints making them a breeze to replace and also i plan on adding a 2" spacer to my lift and i diddnt want crappy UCA angles that would eat up my ball joints. Just figured id post up to help anyone looking into getting new UCA's some info on them as i couldnt find anything about these prior to ordering them. Also i went with the sealed ball joints as i go offroad on the beach and in mud also the winters around here are crazy with all the salt on the roads and i hear that these conditions will eat up uniball's
