Default Mevotech adjustable upper arms?

Anybody ever use these?:

They look pretty similar to say the SPC arms, and are a good ~$100 less it seems; but are they ok? Just a street car use. Thanks.

They probably use SPC's balljoints. They're also not that much cheaper, since Jeg's lists the SPC pair for just over $400, and these are just over $200 per arm.

It's possible they are buying them in bulk from the same manufacturing facility in China that SPC uses. The Chinese have made it a habit to double the production run of an order and sell off the surplus at a discount to other vendors.

It looks like these are basically SPC's arms for the 07-08 G35X:

You guys are seeing the same things I saw and why I made the post. But nobody has gone for it yet? I'm surprised they don't use a serrated area to keep that ball joint from sliding; had a lowered Civic years ago that worked loose on me... gun shy about my Z - thanks for the posts.
