The Ichiba bolts were smaller in diameter, the threads were thinner, and they stripped out on me very easily. Replaced them with the SPC and have had absolutely no issues with those.

I was surprised to see this as I was under the impression they were the same as well, but I can tell you from my experience they weren't.

Oh ok. I believe you. I was just curious. I've installed a bunch of rear kits before, mostly spc and a few ichiba and the bolts always looked the same to me. I never compared them side by side though but they do have the same part number stamped on them for whatever reason. Maybe ichiba caught wind of people saying they are the same kit and started stamping the bolts

Now there is a thread in the Suspension forum where people are reporting the Ichiba front camber arms are ripping through bushings. I think I'll just stick with their spacers for now.............

Sorry man, I gotta say I'm not digging the look. Looks trashy or, damn, I don't even know what. Just my opinion, take it for what it's worth.

I'm glad you got that, it's exactly what happened!! Emotions are so hard sometimes to convey accurately on the internet.

Coming up on 140k I figured it's about that time. Just finished installing these. Also saw that my other inner lower control arm bushing is shot. Sweet! -_-
