So I am lowering my car with Tein S-Tech's soon. To prepare, I just purchased a set of rear Ichiba camber arms and toe bolts. After reading some of the postings, it sounds like they are prone to bushing failures and/or clunking noises.

Anyone have any experience or thoughts? Did I make an bad investment or am I in good shape? I primarily drive the car on the street aggressively and loving the corners and on ramps () but not much racing.

 

I am replacing my Ichiba front camber arms with SPL, and even though they're fairly new im throwing the Ichibas right in the garbage cuz thats what they are.. I would not wanna sell garbage and pass it on to the next guy...

Should have done SPC or SPL in the first place saved myself the hassle

 

Thanks for the insight. You mentioned the front. I actually purchased the rear. Not sure it will make a difference, but would like to focus on the experience with the rears.

Thanks though and sorry for your experience!

the bushings are the issue, so they use the same bushings in the rear...
even my gf the other day in the car asked me what that clunking noise was that she heard over every bump coming from the front, and she never notices anything, lol

i have SPC rear camber with toe bolts, and they've never given me problems, anyway let's hope for the best man, lets hope your kit turns out good and issue free, cross them fingers buddy!

 

I had the rear ichiba kit and it worked fine for me with no clunking issues but maybe I got lucky, I also had the ichiba front camber kit and it worked fine also. I had this on my 04 coupe but my car wasn't slammed so maybe that would've made a difference, I only lowered my car on lowering springs and it was just fine in my opinion.

 

^i have a similar set up run SPC/Eibach all the way around with no issues... Though they are pretty heavy

 

After seeing many different setups the only one I would consider running on my car is SPL, I've been doing group buys for the local guys and getting them on board as well, in the long run you get what you pay for...
