fortune auto coilovers

 

Well, I can only speak from experience for my coilovers as I've never owned any others. I have BC Racing on my car for almost two years now. I love them. For daily driving, they can be set incredibly comfortably yet handle very well, or if you're going to take it to the track, bump it up 10 or 15 notches and it literally feels like I'm on rails. For a cheaper coilover setup, I couldn't be happier.

 

+1!

I was debating on getting ichiba but I took advice from another member (after researching too) and went with SPL front control arms. SOOO glad I made that decision. Seeing all this fail makes me question my SPC rear arms too!!

 

There are several people in this thread speculating that SPC is junk. You should know that SPC = Eibach. You shouldn't jump to conclusions on one brand (SPC) based on the failure of a completely separate brand (Ichiba). I am running SPC rear camber arms without issue.

 

good to know

 

those Ish1tba's look like godspeed..





same factory??

 

Most cheap parts are marked "OFF ROAD ONLY" to avoid law suits and DOT regulations.

 

The only reason I was running them is they had a legal inner metal sleeve (thickness) for the class I race in (and they were adjustable). I didn't put them on because they were "cheap"....I toss a set of $1450 hoosier A6's after 30 autocross runs and have motons on my car. I just put the stock ones back on. The camber arm lasted a year on 315 A6's...

 

oh no it is my dd. i dont track anyways. i just want to slam my car. hehehe thank you

 

What do you guys think about Cusco camber arms? Heard anything bad about them?

 

For real, these are garbage. We need to do something about it. I got mine in today and looked and laughed. The rubber boot thats in the middle of the `horse shoe` not sure what its called. Is hella thin. It looks like you could tear it with your hands. Just called them said i want to return your crap, now looking into buying the kinetix after i install my coils, rear camber and toe....How bad will my front be without getting the `fuca`. It`ll be a little before i order them.... Thanks

 

the only way to tell "how bad" is to get an alignment done and see how your specs are on stock arms. every car is different depending on your drop.

 

^ k thanks

 

i think if you slam it, expect your camber to be between 2-3 degrees on stock arms. everycar is diffferent. but then again if you drive your car a little, having camber wont eat up your tires. i only say that because mine is a weekend car.

 

Ya, I`m just going to put the coilovers on with the rear camber kit and toe. Drop it roughly 2" see how everything looks. Then go from there

 

Cusco is a good brand. never heard anything bad about them.

 

Negative camber won't destroy your tires nearly as fast as an out-of-wack TOE will.

Getting a full alignment done (with corrected arms installed) is the most reasonable thing to do. If you MUST ride on the stock arms for awhile, at least get the TOE checked out when you bring it in for the rear.

 

Absolutely the perfect answer i was looking for. Will do. Thanks. Kinda off topic i guess. Anyone have a pic and specs on camber with at least a 1.5 drop in the front with no fuca?


EDIT:
here are the FUCA i got today from ebay. OMG they looked just like the megans. Then when i got them and took a closer look. Holy hell.

The rubber boot is falling off the joint where it suppose to cover. Then you can see that the other rubber piece is already tearing apart. These places are a joke!. Not to mention, when i opened the box, they had absolutely no cushion or bubble wrap. Nothing, along with wholes in the box etc.

 

I have a set of the Eibach rear camber arms, and I was also wondering what the brand relationship was, because they look just like the broken one listed. I wasn't super worried since I have had them on the car for a good bit, but it is nice to know.

 

You will need adjustable control arms up front. I am only on Eibach Pro-Kit springs with just a 1" drop and was at -2.1* and -2.3* in the front. The Kinetix front arms are possibly the most popular budget arm and I've been running them without problems.

Again, try the Kinetix. See if you can get your money back on those and put that cash toward Kinetix.

Ya you shouldn't have to worry about the Eibach stuff. The only downside to buying Eibach branded parts are that they are more expensive than the SPC.
