You're talking about the V1 kinetix with the exposed balljoint. Total pos, but also totally different animal. They fixed the problems and covered the joint. Kinetix has the most adjustability for camber of any arm, its a set it and forget it camber setting and the ball joint is a seperate piece so when it needs replacing you can buy just the joint rather than whole new arms. I'll post my before and after alignment specs if you'd like.
Lol well at 2 inch of contact if that's the case like u say then for sure ill feel a difference

Yeah, man, my tires would look brand new except for the inside 2 inches. I was basically riding on pizza cutters.

Out here in Cali the roads have a lot of crown so a little caster on the right helps it to go straight down the road. Besides caster doesn't affect tire wear
