good find OP, didn't even know these were available...might jump on them, and eBay has a set for $278 shipped right now. really affordable, now only to search and see how other Megan UCA's have held up on other vehicles
Megan also partners with ROCA, same company many on here have had success with for the LCA replacement bushings.
depending on your mileage...you may want to add-in a few other front end suspension replacements before going to complete the alignment, rear as well if you have the means.
it's a night/day difference when you have non-worn pieces and "zero-in" everything back to factory settings...there are many local alignment shops I could recommend too since you're local (well hopefully local if you'rein south FL)
I've been looking for a set of UCA's for my car but the SPC's always looked flimsy to me (and JDM ones are $$$). these do look sturdy/sturdier than the SPC and I wasn't too interested in buying OEM UCA's as it didn't offer any adjustment to assist my camber issue. the alignment I have is as best as I can get for now (my tire wear isn't as detrimental as to someone who DD's their's, so it wasn't too much a concern really) but would rather everything be in factory specs

May sound sketchy to those unknown but this shop I'd trust with any alignment/frame repair. They work on high-end cars on a daily basis also many athletes’ vehicles as well and have personally done 4 previous vehicles of mine with the full camber correction, one being my Integra about 12yrs ago which I used to track. The quote I’ve gotten on my GS was $250 (or $300 cant rmbr as it was some time ago) but you’ll come out driving straight as ever with no uneven tire wear. They’re pretty popular down here in the tuner/modding scene.

The quality of the Megan UCA are awesome. Installed them about a month ago with LBJs, outer tie rods, Megan coilovers and waiting to do my #2 LCAs and I'll be heading to an alignment shop. The Megan UCA used to come in powder coated blue but they switched to this pink version now. Hope to change the color later.

Yea the pink is a turn off for sure but I will re powder mine in a dark color maybe black or dark grey?
Good to see someone else running them the only down side is the fact that replacement ball joints are going to be real tough to find in the future
