Default Anyone used these upper control arms?

In the effort to get rid of the negative camber in the rear I’m looking for some adjustable RUCA’s. After tons of horror stories from the cheap tubular ones, I decided to stay away from those. On the other hand $400-450 for control arms seems a bit high. I found these ZEREK RUCA for $320 seems like a solid piece. Has anyone used these?

I can't attest to how good their control arms are, but I did try to contact them about getting a roll bar. It's was quite difficult to get a hold of someone, never did end up ordering it.

Paco Motorsports has them. I've not used them but the company has a great reputation in the Miata world and I think they're made in their own shop.

Edit: too late to the click... I'll leave it for the link.

"Yes of course we ship on time, we just need to know how many boogers you'd like on each weld so we can schedule accordingly."

Look at that subtle birdshit welding. The tasteful penetration of it. Oh, my God. It even has surface rust.

ZerekFab's claim to fame is (badly) copying cool parts that other people develop and undercutting the innovators. This is known.

Sweet thanks for all the info everyone! Guess I’ll be going with the paco arms. I was looking for a slightly cheaper RUCA but seems that everything under $400 is pure garbage

Paco all the way.. I have the RUCA's from them and they're great - solid units.

I have a roll bar from Z-Fab and fortunately the quality is great - I will never buy from them again, however; and would not recommend anyone else to either. Communication is effectively non existent.

Those control arms are scary.. damn.

My NA was wearing Paco RUCAs when it rolled, they came out just fine. I just spent another weekend abusing the **** out of them, still good to go!
