Looks good^^ Are you also a Tuff Shine convert? I am and really like it.


Replaced my POS Ichiba rear camber arms today with some Stillen arms. Please people, don't buy the Ichibas they suck. I have provided pics to show that I speak the truth!!

I have only had a couple of Ichiba products on my car. I have 15 mm spacers from them and they seem to be good quality, the nuts are a little soft and easy to round off though. The RCAs do suck as a number of members on here have had the same issue that I had. They are supposed to be re-branded SPC arms, but I have never heard of anyone that has this issue with the SPC arms. Also the Ichiba rear toe bolts are cheap as **** and will strip on you quickly. Holding up an SPC and Ichiba TB side by side you can visually see the difference. Here are a couple of threads for you guys to read.

Patience my friend. There's a good chance yours will fail as well, but you might be one of the lucky ones. Only time will tell.

I've heard countles stories of the Z guys demoing the bushing in the RCAs.

Ichiba makes some great products for 240s (4 to 5 conversion) but the arms are pure ****. The price definitely reflects that.

The part number stamped on the toe bolts the ichiba arms come with is the same as the toe bolts in the spc kit. Maybe that is why everyone thinks the arms are also SPC rebranded....because the ichiba kit is using SPC toe bolts?

If you read one of my earlier posts in this thread you'll see that I compared the SPC and Ichiba TBs side by side and they were distinctly different. I didn't check to see if they were stamped with a part number.
