Fuuuuuuuuu. I just bought Ichibas off a member here yesterday

At least I got them at a decent price. I'll be sure to keep an eye on them once I get around to installing them.

looks like it's manufactured with cheap metal so prob from hard cornering or just a defect/fracture in the metal

BUMP....

would like to bump this thread just so people can see, ICHIBA makes shlt products... I have had nothing but problems with their front A arms, and now the bushings have gone bad after not even a year, and they are very loose making a lot of noise....

I even emailed ichiba showing them this video i made and they replied asking what they could do about it... it's gotten even worse now that the bushings are done, this video was made months ago

^ haha yea i saw that thread too i HAD to post in there, I cannot willingly keep quiet given what I know about this first hand...

I personally took a $350 hit on these and like I said they are going in the garbage without a second though, I would never even think to re sell these get money back no matter what amount of money I paid for them!

I have that same exact problem!!!
I'm going to put the stock A- arms back on and go back to running natural camber again. Then get SPL Arms to the replace the rear.

I find it difficult to go in to someone's FS thread and "bad mouth" a product they're selling. In this case, the customer needs to know what they're about to get in to. The owner of the parts might not be aware of the early failure of this product. I paid $415 plus shipping through B2Auto to get mine. So I know how it feels to lose that kind of coin. I'd still buy from B2. Not their fault the parts went bad. They actually tried to help me out with contacting them.
