Ichiba failed me hard, like so many others!
My video and experience is below, but for starters here's some threads by others with similar Ichiba issues, pay attention to the very first thread there's some pics of user Butkiss1 look how his Ichiba rear camber kit snapped, caushing him to crash his car

So Ichiba aka GodSpeed aka various other eBay nicknames, they really should NOT be sold by vendors on here since they are prone to nor just minor failure, but CATASTROPHIC failure.... why don't we have any stand up vendors that refuse to sell out of principle and safety of their customers, does it all have to be about money all the time
here are my videos, Part 1 and Part 2, very self explanatory... (sorry bout the loud music, wasn't loud at all when makin the vid, guess the phone mic amplified the sound)
So if you look at the end of the second video is where you will see my problem, the Ichiba spindle is literally stuck onto the arm, take a look at the pics here below... any suggestions on how to get it out ??

I have a big problem using parts that are not the same design as OEM. I'll buy aftermarket OEM replacements, but usually go OEM on about... urm everything that is safety critical.
I have issues using non-oem PCV valves, I mean, I can't believe guys on here trust cheapy pairs of things that suspend the car.
At one time I was going to lower my car, and was going to use Eibach camber kits, but even then I couldn't bare with using something that welded like that. Most OEM supplies make suspension arms from one piece of either stamped or forged metal.

I just bought Ichiba rear camber arms from a vendor on here, not knowing the history. I have Ichiba spacers and have never had a problem so I never bothered researching camber kits. After I bought it, all these threads were brought to my attention. I contacted the vendor and they told me I should be ok because they have sold hundreds and have never had issues, although they stopped selling their front camber kits. I said I would feel more comfortable exchanging it for the SPC. They allowed me to do so. An additional $49 gives me peace of mind.
