I noticed the kinetix are considerably cheaper than SPC ones. Can someone vouch for their reliability and use? In the market for front upper control arms to get my camber withn factory specs.

 

I'm a huge fan of the kinetix actually, but there are some drawbacks. There are also a lot of pros too tho.

Pros: cheap and easy ball joint replacement, poly bushings at the mounting points (with zerk fittings to boot), the most adjustment of any other camber arm. It's also a set it and forget it part, so it cannot slip once it's set.

Cons: if you're too low they will rub (if you're super low, these are not the arms for you), while adjustment is easy you do have to drop the spindle from the ball joint to do so, so it's a bit of a pain in the a$$, however you will only have to adjust once cuz once you know where you're at you'll know how many times you have to turn the ball joint to correct it (every full turn of the ball joint is .3 degrees of adjustment).

All in all, I think the kinetix are the best design, but a bit of a pain to adjust and can't use them if you're too low.

Side note: they come with a tiny bit of lithium grease in the bushings; wipe that out and absolutely drown them in silicone grease (inside and out) for proper noise free operation.

 

Hard to beat the revised SPC arms

 

Thanks. What's too low? I'm on Tanabe TNF130 Springs
