Those look very similar to the Kinetix Front Camber arms that everyone dislikes.

AMS..I'm just going to keep my mouth shut. ;)

Not much negative camber there

bullitt5897 12-27-2012 12:57 PM

those are rebranded kinetix arms... very poor design in my eyes.

Yeah I've got the Kinetix (hey, they were practically free) and I can attest to them being very low quality.

That said, they can't slip and lose your settings....

Does anyone not copy others?

True enough for the most part.

Still, you could get the Kinetix (same design) for a lot cheaper I think?

SPOHN 12-27-2012 01:24 PM

I guess I'm going to call SPL and harrass them some more.

So who has the best right now? I will need some in the near future so I can adjust to zero camber when daily driving and -5 when daily drifting. Looking for some that will allow me to do so which i can save the settings and switch back and forth.

If u dont need to adjust ur camber, why not just do 1 tac weld on the spc ... so then its not going anywhere...

Why do you find the Kinetix very low quality?

Sh0velMan 12-27-2012 03:02 PM

Both boots have torn off on mine, the hardware is as cheap as possible.

They're heavy, they're ugly (reaching?)

They're just cheap, functional parts.

If you can set it and forget it, and get them to be in the range you want (I'm at maximum negative with them and my swift springs, -2.6 deg) then they're fine. Otherwise, I'd look elsewhere.

DR_ 12-27-2012 03:15 PM

Do you want more negative than -2.6? Are you going by tire wear or temps?
That isn't an extra -1.5 degree over stock is it?
I'm not going to adjust my camber once I feel it is good compromise between street and track. I have -1.6 with coilovers lowered about .75" or so and I am wearing the outside on the track. I have not taken temps yet though. One option I am considering is just getting offset bushings on the OEM upper control arms.

Wish I had my stock arms, I'd consider that as well.

I don't personally want or need more than -2.6, someone might tho?

And I based it originally off of just aggregating info on this site, but confirmed with temps. The front is pretty close to perfect, at least with the weight it was last time I put it on the track (lost a lot since then).

It'll all change when I buy coilovers in a couple of months, anyway.
