I however would replace the bushings and tie rob bearing.
Is that 179 for both arms or a piece?

I'm on SPC for more than 10k miles already and zero issues, but as Andrew(DEpoint5) said you'll def hear a lot of bad reviews on everything. That's just normal ;)

Its a solid chunk of steel that can't slip alignment. What more do you want? Who gives a **** if it heavy and not pretty, they work. The bushings might suck but that is easily replaced when you're paying $179. Only thing track guys need to do is grind the lock nut down thinner and the part the tie rod bearing screws into to get more negative camber. -3.0 is doable.

Not sure these are ams or kinetix or custom but its the same thing with real bearings!

The pictured arms are custom. They are steel arms in the AMS/Kinetix design but with metal sphericals. I have a set to sell for $400. PM me.

AMS (the Canadian one) makes Chinese knockoff junk. The Z32 guys started a petition to get them banned from ZCON. They're not the good AMS in Chicago that makes cool stuff. They even knocked off their name to piggyback off a successful shop. SPC is fine for daily driving. They've sold multiple times as many parts as the competition and we haven't heard that many stories about them breaking. You can break anything on track.

What ftlbs you torque the top nut to?

I'm not sure, those were done by my mechanic

JAYNO20 01-06-2014 12:15 PM
Is the front toe adjustable?

Another reason to hate SCCA!

I went with Kinetix as right now mine is just a street car. No need for the SPL. SPC is fine but looks like it could slip (probably won't on a street car, though.) Shouldn't have to worry about that with the Kinetix. You just need to make sure the rod end is well lubed (get some white lithium grease) and the poly bushings are greased well with a waterproof silicone lube (like Hotchkis suspension grease.)

Not installing until Spring so I can't report on the function, but they look like they will do the job just fine. Just remember it's a maintenance item so make sure you have a grease gun with good poly bushing lube and some white lithium grease in spray can to keep the rod end happy.

Well to me steel is steel and as long as the welds look ok I'm sure they will be fine. If it was a fitment part or something else I'd worry. I have lots of Chinese stuff. All is holding up well.

Are the tubes hollow or solid?

Hollow... tube steel.

I will be picking up the Kinetix arms as well for a spring install. :tup:
