^Yeah they are. I actually got them at a good price used from a 350z owner. They sit low to the suspension arm like the OEM ones do. At this point though, I don't think an aftermarket kit will solve that issue if you are having with the OEM arms. When I was researching to replace my SPC arms, I found that SPL arms are also a good replacement and not as much as the 350evo. The few members I reached out too said they had no issues with them knocking.

I'm running 350evo A-arms now and have no issues what-so-ever. My first setup was Tein CS coils and SPC 'unrevised' arms. I had knocking. I switched the arms out to the 'revised' arms and the knocking was less but still enough for me to hate it. I then switched up to Stance which has alot stiffer spring rate and still suffered from the knocking. Now, perfect, no knocking at all. I also had the visible marks.
This is the first time I've heard of OEM arms having the knocking issues. I wish you guys lived close by, I'd say come over and we can have a looksy.
One thing comes to mind.....on my Tein CS, the adjustment and spring tension use the same collars. If you go down low enough, the spring looses the pre-load and basically sits free. Over larger bumps, you will get a rattle and slight knock because the spring is actually traveling/floating. I think BC coils use a seperate adjustment collar so this is not the case for you Lumpia.
