Ichiba failed me hard, like so many others!
My video and experience is below, but for starters here's some threads by others with similar Ichiba issues, pay attention to the very first thread there's some pics of user Butkiss1 look how his Ichiba rear camber kit snapped, caushing him to crash his car

http://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-s...-arms-ftl.html
http://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-s...l-garbage.html
So Ichiba aka GodSpeed aka various other eBay nicknames, they really should NOT be sold by vendors on here since they are prone to nor just minor failure, but CATASTROPHIC failure.... why don't we have any stand up vendors that refuse to sell out of principle and safety of their customers, does it all have to be about money all the time
here are my videos, Part 1 and Part 2, very self explanatory... (sorry bout the loud music, wasn't loud at all when makin the vid, guess the phone mic amplified the sound)

yea Diesel np, and thanks for postin threefiftyz holy snaps their rear camber kits be snappin all over the place gotdang... I'm gonna spend a bit of time today gathering all the threads I can find about them and go ahead and e-mail them all the links.
I also have half a mind to box up their old camber kit and send it back to them with a nice little note attached, lol
yea those C clamps are MasterCraft which is made for our local Canadian Tire's you guessed it, IN CHINA... I'm pretty sure Ichiba makes their camber arms from the same material
so check out the spindle that's stuck in my arm right now, gotdang I got some work to put in today, luckily I don't have work today

This is ridiculous.
It's not like user error, poor installation or wear-and-tear. These parts shouldn't even be on the market. Glad no one was hurt or paid the ultimate price. The manufacturer should consider it a "Cheap" lesson learned and cut their losses.

^ no doubt....
but the most frustrating thing is, that sure I can email them numerous threads from numerous forums which show beyond simple negative feedback, they would show catastrophic failure like some of the stuff that's been posted...
but then they would probably just look at all the other threads of sponsors still selling their stuff on these same forums and just keep going on about their day not giving a flyin f#@k
that's why we need our Forum moderators to step in when it comes to cases like this.
I mean I'm literally jumping and sh'ttn on people's Ichiba's sale threads pi$$in people off because I can't consciously just NOT say anything, and we can't get mods to at least look at the facts here

That is terrible..... a law suit will clearly make a point to these shitty companies and stop them from selling this junk. I am surprised that no one has sued anyone of these companies for faulty parts that hold no standards. I know a few law firms that would love to go after these companies but they need hard evidence of failures and multiple people for a class action.
