there is no way for them to slip out of spec, as each hole is individually tapped
it would take you running ALOT of camber (over 2.5 degrees I'd guess) and doing alot of straight line driving (not much turning) to wear the insides of a tire before the rest...or your toe could also be completely out of spec.

Cusco makes quality products. I have Cusco swaybars, coilovers and a strut tower bar. However, I'm not impressed with SPL. Check out this thread about SPL endlinks. The original poster included a picture where it is obvious that the bolt is not long enough to properly engage the nut. Personally, I was taught, as a professionaly mechanic, that two threads should emerge from the nut. SPL's answer....locktight. They admitted that they made a mistake and still were too cheap to properly fix the problem.

<1"drop = Cusco / >or=1"drop = SPL
i have a 1.1"drop in the front and 1" in the rear (H&R g35 coupe)... I went with the Cusco because they were slightly cheaper, and i suspected that i wouldnt need that much adjustment because it was only a 1" drop... With that 1" drop, the Cusco's barely got me in specs.. The alignment shop put them to the max adjustment, and i was almost borderlined out of specs. Quality for quality, i believe that Cusco & SPL are very close to being the same. So it just depends on how much of a drop you are going with which will determine which is better for your application...<1"drop = Cusco / >or=1"drop = SPL
