The fact that the Kinetix a-arms bent from spirited driving, or...
The fact that you straightened it out with a hammer and then put it on your car. So, how is it working?

I always thought the Kinetix a-arms looked weak in the plate area where they burn a hole for lightness, but I suspect the real weak area is where the tubing connects to the plate.
I'm glad you're taking a safe approach to this.

I found out through Kinetix that the grease caps are supposed to be underneath, therefore those a-arms are installed UPSIDE DOWN which supposedly causes the bends in the arms. Check out my thread https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-coupe-v35-2003-07/125841-my-kinetix-arms-they-about-break.html
You guys should check the thread in the g35 coupe forum where the original poster(toptoneone) got into an accident due to his camber kit breaking on himm from a poor weld...Good luck and safe driving.

Yep... i think people should be aware of the cheap quality this is before someones life gets taken away from an accident.. Keep an eye on it.
wasn't there a guy who posted and said that his kinetix was bent and everyone told him to take it of asap before anything happen?
Good luck man.

I guess you didn't read these eh?
Please for the love of God, don't buy this crap.
There will always be negatives and postives to both sides. I've known a couple sedans with the kintex arms and love them because they can dial in their owne from camber.
Kinda like all forged wheels bend, A arms can bend too.
I dont have personal experience with any A arms yet but i will be soon and kinetix are on the list to look at.
