Yeah, most folks here have good intention and its no secret that the SPL is the gold standard: i'm not oblivious to this. Some folks dedicate their whole heart and effort in getting the best and this is their testimony, I get that. I appreciate all the inputs!
Rusty's last point about fudging numbers does hit home for me and has probably been the most eye opening answer. Before researching the different brands I had a very naïve understanding of control arms but as I research more, it does make sense why the ability to easily configure the settings without having to remove the arms is important to the alignment folks.
Not saying West End would skimp out on the quality of work just because I purchased something inferior compared to SPL(Chris and Darin are amazing) but I do think going SPL would benefit me as an end user when it comes to actual numbers and alignment costs down the road.
Though, I am still curious if anyone has ever had any experience with quality when it comes to bushings between SPC and Whiteline. SPC bushings is $23 per while Whitelines are slightly cheaper. My guess is performance between the two is negligible. If I go with updating bushings, it'll likely be SPC to guarantee the fit at this point.
