So we're expecting them to actually be out this time? I mean, we've heard comments like that before. Never with a pic, but until I can click "add to cart" I'm going to be skeptical.

Goodness, that looks amazing......

mdxj · 08-07-2013, 08:01 AM

How about price? I want to get new arms this fall but I am still sceptical about these coming out

Negative engineering outlook from the GTR forums. SPL Parts Prototype GT-R Adjustable Front Control Arms - Part 1 (install) - Page 3 - Suspension & Tires - GT-R Life

TLDR: The SPL design isn't great.

The price quote given to me by corner3garage has me going with Doran arms. At this point SPL doesn't deserve my money.

Very interesting read, thx for posting!

I know how much the doran arms are, do you mind telling me (or pm me) how much you were quoted the SPL arms?

me too

jujubii · 08-09-2013, 12:10 PM

while they probably aren't anywhere near the quality of spl or doran's arms? has anyone considered these arms? Megan Racing

they're seem more structurally sound (in accordance with the gtrlife thread & possesses a similar shape to oem). maybe it's a step up option from spc and a step below doran/spl

Chuck33079 · 08-09-2013, 12:13 PM

Megan is cheap garbage. Take better care of your car than that. It's a downgrade from SPC. Megan uses crap steel and their quality control is nonexistant.

It was just a thought/suggestion
Seeing as how SPC's settings slip a lot (i know there's the jam nut mod) and the bushing tears *frequently* (at least for the g37 guys) and the SPL/Doran arms are crazy pricey, I was wondering if there is an in-between alternative :P

btw, this seems pretty genius (for people with mild drops and such) http://www.gtrlife.com/forums/topic/...-arm-bushings/

I've seen the GTR article, but the SPL arms also have extensive track testing. I have no doubt they will perform and I am on the list pre ordered through Corner3 Garage!

SPOHN · 08-09-2013, 02:30 PM

OK, where's this pre list? What's the cost? Why is this so damn secret it seems?

They didn't want to be releasing prices, since it's not final, but it will probably be about $899 for these.

We have a pre-order going, so if anyone wants to be some of the first ones to get these, PM ME!
