I replaced all of them with SPL billet gear and when opening the boxes I was immediately hit with a serious flaw with the SPL arms. They are too nice to install under your car. Inside your car? Yes. In your engine bay? Maybe. But not under the car where they will get all dirty. They are seriously a work of art and now I am going to have to get under there to clean them after every drive  |
You think the regular SPL stuff is too pretty?
Check out the "Nismo" branded version (same stuff made by SPL, just diff colors):
This GK horror story reminds me of my experience with Serial-Nine on my IS300. They made two versions of their FUCA, one for VIP cars on bags with extreme camber and a "sport" version for closer to stock suspension. I got the "sport" version but it maxed out at STOCK camber (near zero). Switched to the VIP version, and could only get MINIMUM -7 camber. It was baffling.
Only when I lined up VIP, sport, and stock side by side did we figure it out - a manufacturing defect had created a "sport" version with the wrong length. Nobody had bothered to check. They had an entire production run that was wrong, and lucky me, i am the one that caught it.
