No direct experience, (I've had Megans on my car for 2 years) but they all look so close to being the same that they are probably all built in the same factory in Taiwan/China.

I purchased the god speed arms initially and immediately returned them because the welds looked horrible...

I then took a chance on the manzo arms after really inspecting pictures of them on different web sites, and thankfully the welds are much better giving the arms a much better overall quality... I know they look the same but the manzo arms are much better from my experience.

Also just had to replace mine due to a pothole destroying my upper ball joint/control arm, went with Godspeed because it was the cheaper option & the design looked the same as the other arms available which probably all come from the same factory anyway.

2 weeks with these on so far, no complaints here. The welds are sloppy like mike33 said but they were solid & camber is easy to adjust.

I have godspeed arms. Mechanic friend with a welding ticket looked and said the welds looked solid, tho definitely not beautiful. There was some flux on mine and the e-coat (or whatever it is) did not cover fully. That ticked me off, but they weren't large spots and I covered them with some latex, which was still holding up last I looked. The ball joints looked solid and the arms still seem to be working for me.

Purchased and today installed the Godspeed control arms on my ISF, after camber became out of spec due to lowering it. Did not feel like knocking out the OEM ball joints to replace them with adjustable ones. Pleased with the purchase

Hi @BlckGhst Been awhile. How did the Godspeed camber arms go? Still holding up?
