Any guesses from you suspension gurus on what brand they might be??

SPC rear camber arms are fine, a lot of us are running them. SPC front A-arms are not recommended because they are known to make knocking noises.

You are right about SPL, their stuff is top notch.

SPC rear camber arms are my hero and so are the front shims.. my stock arms hit my fenders when i hit bumps so no SPC front arms for me

Marcus do you know of anyone with the SPC rears that have had the bushings fail like my Ichibas did? I have read more than once on here that the Eibachs are just rebranded SPCs.

Also, I'm becoming more and more dissatisfied with my SPL A arms and front endlinks. They make a LOT of noise, creaking and popping, and I spoke to Kuah at SPL here in town yesterday and he wasn't much help. Kinda blamed the noise on factors that I don't believe are causing the noise, for example he said since I didn't grind off the bumps on the stock radius arm it was putting undue stress on the bearings in the front A arm when they knocked and was possibly wearing the bearings out. I just replaced the ends of the A arms with the V3 version he hooked me up with for free (so the service hasn't been all bad), but I've only had those on for a couple of thousand miles and have only banged the arm a couple of times on the right side only. Most of my noise is coming from the left side. That's why I didn't go with the SPL rear camber arms.

I'm thinking about replacing my stock endlinks this weekend to see if the noises go away, which I think they will. Then I will have a decision to make on what direction to go with them.

I have found that many problems are due to ride height not components ... I had knocking problems with eibacb sportlines - but since running tanabe coilovers no problems (knock wood)...

Very nice Vivek!

Finally got my hub assemblies in!



And all the other goodies for my front end!



I'll hopefully get a chance to install everything next thursday or sunday, can't wait to have my car tightened up again after 5 long years of being low and tearing every bearing!

Thanks Ashley. It is indeed assisted. I already have one of them that I sometimes EDC, but I love it so much that I bought another one
