330IS300

I recently picked up a 2001 IS300 the person before me did not know what they had, obviously explaining two to three wheel studs snapped off on each rim, a lowering kit with the camber so out of whack that all 4 tires are showing wires. So here is my question, to you... Should I go with the godspeed upper control arms? Are they safe? or the SPC ball joint camber kit? Any help would be great thanks you?

BUMP!

I have the same question.. Not sure if it's "reasonable" to assume the SPC's (for $400) would be any more durable or better than Godspeed's or even Manzo's... PLEASE HELP! Has anybody installed either of these... or even Megan's? I need to know which ones I should buy. Just want the front camber to match the back, since I've installed SAGE rear RCA's (30mm drop)

Also- I noticed SPC says their adjustable front UCA's are adjustable up to ±1° Caster and ±2° Camber change. *Manzo's, Megan's, and Godspeed's all say


Specialty Products ...$350-$400! (which is almost the cost of the other (cheaper) brands...for BOTH adjustable FRONT and REAR UCA's!) I'm just wondering how the ball-joints are in ones like these:
