If they are made by the same manufacturer (which I personally doubt) they use far better components on the SPC>Ichiba. SPC has what looks like poly bushings and a better constructed ball joint. Ichiba have rubber bushings and a **** poor ball joint. I spoke with the SPC rep at SEMA. He stated that Ichiba and Godspeed are the same brand manufacturer.

By the way, for those that want to pitch a b!tch email sales@ichibausa.com with all the necessary information pertaining to your purchase and where it failed.

Ichiba does have good products.

Their spacers are pretty decent and their 5 lug conversion for 240s is great!

Their suspension parts suck though.

Gotta disagree here. The nuts on my V2 spacers rounded off as they're too soft. And 2 of the studs on my V1s stripped and won't hold a lug nut as well as my toe bolts doing the same damn thing.

I have SPC's front control arms and rear camber arms and they are worth every penny. I have had the rear camber arms for two years and I have had no issues at all!. I have had the fronts for just about a year now and I have had no issues as well.

I had brand new set (front & rear) of crap-chibas decided to sell them and install SPC's instead. So glad I went with my gut feeling.

Glad to hear you didnt get hurt. I would definitely seek legal advice on this since there are so many others with similar issues.

Goodluck

Rookie move on my part. Never used coilovers, so never saw them in the video.

can't actually see more than the bottom of the strut in the video, true coils are just the most likely reason the bucket is empty
