Default Choosing UCA?

I am looking to buy new uca and cant decide between hotchkis or dse. I want to know which has the best geometry and which has the most negative camber / positive caster?

Not sure about the Hotchkis or the DSE but my wife just got me Speed Tech upper control arms for Christmas and they are badass.

You should also look at the SPC adjustable arms (along with tall ball joints).
Give Mark a call. He will explain the advantages of the adjustable arms.

I have the SPC adjustables on my car for over 20k miles now. They are excellent and completely eliminate the need for any shims. The tall screw in style balljoint is strong and makes a huge difference over the weak stock style used in most of the other arms. Mark at sc&c possesses more knowledge than any of his competitors hands down and is always pleasure to work with.

Do the SC&C lower control arms move the lower ball joint forward a little for improved caster?
