Kinetix front camber arms
 
Is anyone running the Kinetix front camber arms? I would love the Doran Racing arms but can't afford them and I gave up hope on the SPl arms. I have seen reviews on the SPC arms not holding up to hard use and was wondering if the Kinetix design is better. They look like like they would be really strong but I have not seen much on them.

I have them.

The design doesn't have as much adjustability, but I think they're probably stronger overall.

They definitely won't slip like the SPCs can.

Also, I'm not saying you should get them.. they're cheap and heavy... The boots on my ball joints were gone in short order. If it's what you can afford and you need the adjustment, do it, otherwise, save your pennies for better parts.

How did the boots fail? I have heard Cusco had some but have never seen them. The Eibachs look like the SPC arms so I assume they would have the same issue.

Can't really say, presumably from the suspension compressing to the point where the boots are pinched.

This was just on Swift springs, so not like I was slammed or anything.

I was looking at going with swift springs while i save up for KWv3's since it is going to take a while. Have you have any issues with them coming loose? I wish SPL had theirs out already, hopefully by the end of the year when I plan on doing this since I know their design will be solid. I need a second job if I want to use Doran parts! I can dream though

I found the cusco arms. More expensive but I imagine they would be better. Need to do more reasarch on them

I think those aren't adjustable.

With what coming loose, the Kinetix camber arms? It's not really possible for them to "come loose".

That's one benefit of their design.

I think you're right, unless they're including eccentric bolts with them or something. Which i think would be horrible.

Shame, too, they look to be well made parts, though completely overpriced.
