Nice. Simple, ams/kinetixs copy, so I'm sure it works. But no caster. Hope your left and right are close to equal.

Yeah they are exactly the same. I kept my spcs in the neutral caster position anyway so I didn't need anything special. These also have more than enough positive and negative adjustment which is cool. I read the kinetix arms were limited.

Mine are all the way in and the best i can manage is around -2.6 degrees, if I'm pretty low.

Which I am not, normally..

What did he charge you for them?

I have been tossing around the idea of having some just like yours made but with adjustable ends on the body-side too so that I can use sphericals there and use spacers for caster adjustment.

That's cool. Most just cut the nut down or threaded part so the tie rod end goes in more for more adjustment. I need caster since I'm 0.3* off.

I just installed a set of spcs(couldn't pass up the price) Im on swifts and koni, the left arms hits quite a bit, only had the right do it once...I did not want to shell out for spl, but looks like its gonna happen...sigh.

How do you like the Koni and swifts? I was thinking of going to that myself... Or should I just save for coils...

Its a really good street setup, IMO. I have also learned you can easily turn them into coilovers as well, koni sells a sleeve for the front and another company sells a kit you bolt into the bucket. Then you can run whatever springs you like! I will be doing this in the future for sure, the swift spec r are great springs, but I like linear springs better.

please elaborate my good man, I either need to stiffen up my springs or change out these arms. Is anyone here on kinetic arms? I also have spc which thumps like crazy at my ride height
