A-Arms: SPL or Stillen

I need front camber adjusters and can get Stillen or SPL for the same price. right front is -1.6 left is a bit better but still too negative

Stillen adjusts to +.25 from OEM specs - I'm not sure that’s going to be enough to get me in the range I want to be

SPL adjusts to +1 and minor caster adjustment.

I'm leaning towards SPL - but considering the Stillen is normally much more $$$ and I can get it for the same price as SPL (and pick up local) I'm undecided.

Opinions from users or either product appreciated.

Very few people have had the stillens, while just about everyone who purchased the SPL's love them. Based on that I would go with the tried and true SPL's

SPL all the way!!!
If dropping more than 1.7 inches watch the limit on thread exposure. The install instructions are very specific about it.

Stillen has a bad rep... their parts aren't always great, sometimes faulty, and their service sucks.

I haven’t seen much info about Stillens A-Arms - however I have many other Stillen products and don't agree with some people’s negative opinion of them, I’ve been very pleased with their products and service...

I have seen good things about SPL and the + camber adjustment fits my needs better - I'm leaning that direction...

^^ its SPL. not to be confused with SPC.

And that problem was resolved since they contacted all 5 ppl with the possible defect.

I agree that there isn't necessarily anything wrong with them, both look well built and should work fine, one thing about the stillens though is that they look like they could slip easier and could require more frequent adjustments
