do the cuscos slip out of spec a lot?..cuz i have them and they were fine for months and today i looked at my tires and they are just about completely balled on the inside.

 

that could be normal if you're running enough negative camber.

 

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.

 

does anyone have a picture of the cuscos set to full postive camber?

 

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.

 

my picture above, with the bolts in the outermost position.

 

With all due respect, proper engineering practice is to have thread engagement length equal to the thread diameter, in this case 12mm. Our endlinks were designed with the correct minimum 12mm thread engagement. The nylock hex flange nuts are unusually tall at 16mm, in comparison a typical hex nut is only 10mm tall. If you use a typical hex nut, you will have 2mm of thread sticking past the nut. Using locktite in automotive applications is very common, Nissan uses it in many places, it may be a cheap fix but it is entirely safe and appropriate.

 

If any one is interested, I have a set of Cusco arms with only 800 miles for sale 300.00 shipped.

Cesar

 

how bout spl arms for 300?

 

Wake up, wake up.... your dreaming!!!

 

I was LMAO too. His response has me now offering $100 for both arms.

 

so what are the pros and cons? im am in need of a arms asap. help please

 

After looking at the part on their website, $300-$350 seems like a reasonable price.

 

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

 

Good info that I needed to know, thanks mankinilust.
