That is what is important to me in camber arms.
There's a lot of similarities between the two designs in that they are both billet aluminum, both use spherical bushings at all 3 corners, both are relatively easy to adjust. The Doran arms use shims, so it is just a matter of knowing how many shims you need for a given setting. I would recommend that you do this when setting up the car on the alignment rack so you can see if your toe is being altered at all. My car is track only at this point so for me it doesn't matter, set it and forget it.

If the SPL parts had been ready at the beginning of the season I probably would have saved myself a few dollars and gone with those as they would have worked just as well for my needs, I have no complaints about the other SPL parts on the car. The SPC arms however had to go away. I'm sure they are fine for the street but they just get torn up on track.
