They look great, i know they make some qualityish products. They are probably better than most till you get up to the SPL Parts level.

Are those sealed bearings instead of rubber or poly bushings? I don't think I've seen that before. Seems pretty legit.

I'm not familiar with Circuit Sports stuff, but those actually look pretty nice compared to alot on the market.

Well neither I nor terrasmak own them, but we gave feedback. In comparison to my Kinetix arms those look to have a little more R&D behind them. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them if the price is right.

From reading through the forums I've come to learn that terrasmak only offers good advice and knows more than most of the people here. You can trust his recommendation.

They are a solid bearing design, we don't know the quality of the bearings , also let it be know they will probably make more noise than the typical rubber bushing arm. Last part, the arm seems to be a copy of Cusco, with addition of solid bearings. It is a proven design.

Circuit Sports seems to offer some qualityish parts. If I was in the market for a non caster adjustable arm to be used on a car that is tracked or drifted , I would have no problem trying these out.

^i was gona say the same thing, they look very similar to cusco (nevermind the blue paint lol).

FYI - I can only find these on Ebay after a quick search, looks like they are going for about 310 shipped. not too bad i guess...but not THAT cheap either...

The only thing I'd prob be worried about is the camber slipping back out of spec. It only has 4 bolts that hold in place and there's no metal in between them like cusco. They look pretty good though.

Exactly. I'd stay away. If spl is $100-200 more spend the extra cash
For known quality.

CircuitSports makes some decent stuff. Huge in the 180/200/240/Silvia world. I have some of their things on my GTR.

Most likely will be picking them up within the month just wondering if anyone actually had them. the only thing that worries me is slipping out of alignment (but ive had other A arms on other cars with only 4 bolts and never had any issues of slipping) and how bad the road noise gonna be with solid bearing.

Will Keep u posted. Thanks!

What is the adjustment on these?? Only negative camber, negative and positive etc etc

It looks like it comes with the conical bushings no need to buy new ones or remove your old ones

Did you happen to pick up a set?? How's the fitment??
