I don't want to spend close to $400 on SPC front camber arms. I know they are the best, but what about these? Keep in mind that I'm usually the last one to buy car parts on eBay.

Which are more in my price range, even though I still don't want to spend $300.

I have read some negativity about the Ichiba front camber arms. Anyone have used SPC front camber arms for sale?

Thanks,
Aaron

 

never heard of them

Just save up and get SPC or SPL, you wont regret it

 

Not Cheap No-name, Untested junk others are selling!

LOL. Every eBay seller says that.

 

wow for cheap ebay crap they cost about the same as the Ichiba arms

 

Probably made by the same people too.

 

Are you buying these to replace the worn out OEM, or are you buying to correct a lowered Z?

 

was just going to ask the same - what is your reason for purchasing the arms?

 

If your lowered - yes you need them

Dont forget you get what you pay for... I hated forking out 5 bills for my SPL's....but I NEVER have to worrry about it again.. Well worth it IMO..

 

yeah, we really need to get the reason why your getting them?? and were not talking price, were meaning why do you need them, are you lowered on a daily driver? what are you lowered on? suspension details, drop details.

if you track your car and want full adjust ability then of course your gonna need some of the higher end stuff because they offer it.

Those posted are the basic of front camber (only) adjustment upper control arms.

so if your lowered and its a daily driver, never sees track time, then get them and give us your review down the road.

a good review would be:
how difficult it was for alignment tech to align
did the alignment hold in spec some 6 months later.
bushing - how are tehy holding up
any flex, bending dents?
etc..etc..

Get the SPC. Just make sure to be careful with the ABS sensors, or they'll go bonkers on you. I have the front and rear arms, and they have held up to a lot of abuse. Ebay camber arms may be good for daily driving, or..........

You're going to get what you pay for.

 

I don't think you always get what you pay for. IMHO the SPC are overpriced for what they are

 

nah, not the same actually

the Ichiba are a replica (though again, not the same) of the Cusco

give me a few, I'll upload some pics

 

Cusco:



Ichiba:





Cusco - doesn't come with the conical bushing (you have to buy a new one, or if you have a puller, you can transfer it over from your existing a arm). Uses stock lower nut and has a cotter pin. Bushings feel a bit stiffer than the Ichiba ones, though both are stiffer than stock



Ichiba - includes conical bushing, no cotter pin, uses different style castle nut (included). Bushing not as stiff as the Cusco, though the bushing is stiffer than stock



welds on the Cusco are tighter than they are on the Ichiba

Ichiba ones are available (and cheaper), Cusco forget about - via special order only. Cusco does offer a full replacement bushing assembly, not sure if Ichiba does.

 

^ great pics and info! Nice!...

When was SPC voted the best? 350EVO blow them away.

 

^ to my understanding the 350evo arms couldn't adjust caster??

I have the Ichiba front camber arms and no issues so far. Tech was able to align the car perfectly. Will report back in 6 months. I paid under $300 for mine.

 

Z1 Performance, Which out of all the arms you guys stock which would you recommend if cost was not an issue?

 

^It really comes down to what your planned use is for the a-arm.

If you are the "set it and forget it" type than there is no need to go for the more expensive shim type a-arms. If you're someone who plans on tweaking your a-arms from time to time then maybe the shim type or the set screw(s) type like the Cuscos pictured above might be your preference.

 

Thanks Kwame!

Damn you have a tight name. Is that your real name? Just rolls off your tongue. *Kwame*

Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not trying to hit on you. LOL

Thanks for the info!
