that's re-dic.
very happy to hear that you and your son are okay, but i'm sure kinetix won't be after this. having that traction bar break is just unbelievable.

I have them on my car and I will be taking them off! I should have known better when they had all those problems with the plenum.
Most of their stuff is cheap (imho)

Glad you guys are ok!

Take pic's from under car and with hood open for documentation.
Please post up when you hear from insurance company. Be interesting

Thanks Kinetix................!

Glad you and your son were not injured!! Kinetix
might tell you the install wasn't done correctly.
I seriously doubt they'll be up front with you and
admit they sell junk! LOL

people, you are getting out of control........

are you going to sue Nissan is you break an axle shaft? nope!

how long was the arm on the car before it broke? what factors led to the breaking of the weld? any launches on slicks or other high traction tires? any drag racing or similar abuse? can you see what I am getting at? there are many reasons that could have contributed to this failure......

how many sets of these arms has kinetix sold? how many other failures?

You guys are ready to hang Kinetix without a trial.....this sounds like Mod justice......

It is a very unfortunate incedent and I am very glad that no one was hurt, but it needs to be thoroughly investigated before everyone jumps to conclusions.

...and BTW, I don't own any Kinetix products......just upset with the mob mentaility on this thread.

Their camber kits always had an issue.. you'll hear the bushings after a year or so and I'm sorry to say but you get what you paid for..

IMO it is not Kinetix's fualt as you as a tuner should know that there are ups and downs to aftermarket and should do your research before purchasing. But hey for the price of $600ish for a FULL complete camber kit front and rear.. who can argue.. other companies like 350evo charges around $1,000 for 2 arms.. that should explain something..

looks like their products live up to how they look. like crap. I hope you get back what you deserve. none of their products go through any R&D it seems like. look at their manifold.. just looks no gain.

I have a set of camber kits by them and the arm was slight BENT from normal driving.

Glad you're okay dude. Really sucks. You should look into legal action. At least give Kinetix a call and put the fear into them. I would never purchase anything they make after the seven versions of the plastic plenum debacle. Obviously this does not change that opinion.
