I don't know what shocks me more...

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 didn't put them on my car yet.. there's no way i'm putting them on YET. I'm going to have someone weld on reinforcement tubing so it won't happen again.

Where did the Kinetix a-arms bend?

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.

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.

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.
