Default Upper Control Arm Recommendations?

Should I replace my UCAs with aftermarket if I don't need to camber or track my car?

I noticed I need to replace my front left UCA and wanted to know what's the best option for me. Currently lowered of F-Sport Springs. I thought about OEM but since the OEM and aftermarket are about the same price so why not replace both front UCAs with aftermarket options. I don't have a need for camber or suspension adjustability yet but will be upgrading my suspension more in the future. I was looking at the Megan Racing or Godspeed UCA because they are affordable and they look really nice and match my f sport springs. Been browsing the threads and found other options as well like RR Racing UCA and Figs but they are pricey,

Are Megan Racing suspension parts good? I heard good things about the coil overs but nothing much about the other components.

I have decided to go with Megan racing UCA instead of OEM since they are the same price range and look cooler.

Megan is good......main thing you need to do is tighten the nuts/bolts on the UCA's while the suspension is compressed to it's natural rested height. This will prevent the bushings from getting stretched/ripped.

Wow it’s been two years since I posted this. Funny thing is I still havnt bought any UCAs. Still have my OEM but I did started to track my car and threw on bigger wheels. My driver side ball joint went out randomly last week and now I’m in search of UCA. I was about to pull the trigger on Megan racing ones but I think I am going to replace it with another OEM for now and save up $$ for FIGS instead. From what I hear they are worth their weight in gold.
