i saw the kinetix and it seemed a little homebrew'ed. Not saying their product isnt great it just doesn't look that great. The cusco's however are negative arms.. Meaning it will barely get you more positive camber than you already have.

Cusco front control arms

1.Like stock bushing materials, (maybe slightly stiffer juries out)
2.Amount of negitive camber they can remove .5
3.Amount of negitive camber they can remove if your willing to make some modification's to the area of the fender liner just above where the ball joint touches said fender liner 1.2 IIRC (theirs a thread on 350zTech)
4.Where do you stand on their construction?
5.Price $395

EVO350 control arms

1. Sperical bearing surfaces end's any discussion about bushing flex, but brings to the table the discussion the discussion about NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness)
2. Much greater adjustment range for removing negitive camber
3. Construction speaks for itself,
4. Price $850
5. Sure looks to me like they would be easier to adjust for the track monkey that needs to make at the track changes.

Those are the issues, may have overlooked a couple but I think they're the high points. If the Cusco's are able to offer enough camber correction for your needs and everything else add's up, then buy them.
