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. |

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

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 |

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.

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/ Last edited by jujubii; 08-09-2013 at 01:30 PM. |

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!

It was on one page before this, corner3garage commented and said they have a couple pre-ordered.

Sorry, two pages before this. Looks like they may finally be coming out, but who wants to hold their breath?
