Dummy Question here

I came across this link on craigslist, where I trust everyone's word always....

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pts/3746546654.html

I know there are several versions of Kinetix camber arms, but I haven't found one that looks like this. Could someone a lot smarter than me help me decipher this out?

Thank you for your input.

-Jax

Not sure what you're asking. But if you're looking for front arms that offer any positive camber adjustment don't waste your money on these. The only 2 sets readily available that will give you that are the SPC and SPL. The rest of the A arms marketed for our cars (Godspeed, Megan, Ichiba, Kinetix. etc.) aren't worth diddly squat because they only add more negative camber.

And why the hell do you trust everyone on Craigslist, that's just not smart................

I really was asking because I was looking at the posting they did not look like the ones on the website. I do not trust anyone on Craigslist that was supposed to be sarcasm. because I was going to flag because I was going to flag it for removal if the posting was incorrect.

If I trusted every posting on Craigslist I would not have asked here. Thank you for your technical knowledge in at this time I'm not looking for any positive camber.

JBQ, there are very outside company's we trust to buy parts from and never Craigs list or eBay. Looking for adjustable a-arms, go to our MARKETPLACE under vendor suspension. Like Tim mentioned there's only 2 that offer the adjustability needed, SPL is what I'm using....Gary

Sorry I missed the sarcasm. Still, if you're not looking for positive camber adjustment, there's no reason to spend money on aftermarket arms. The stockers do the job just fine.

Nothing wrong with used to a certain extent. I'd take a used SPL part over anything from Ichiba, Megan, Godspeed, China. SPC parts are probably OK used as well but they're not as beefy as SPL to start with.

Either way, like the guys above said stick with SPC at a minimum and SPL if you can afford it (yes, they're more expensive, but they are also worth it). Suspension and alignment aren't things to cheap out on, those parts are in control of your life, the life of your car (and tires) and your ability to drive safely.

As a side note, some of the Eibach branded parts are made by SPC so if you end up in a one or the other situation it's probably the same part.

What's the matter with a used camber part? If you wouldn't be willing to buy used camber pieces, I surely hope you are willing to buy anything suspension or performance based used as well by that logic.
