Default Rear upper arms!

I finally got my rear arms. They’re are pretty beefy too.

480 shipped!
It took about 7 weeks, but it looks well worth it. I will let you guys know after the install.

That's not too bad. They look like they are pretty high quality.

Nice. They share a lot of similarities with my Ikeya Formulas. That's a good thing

That's nice that their arms offer solid rubber bushing instead of spherical bearings or poly bushings like most of their competitors. Let us know how you like them.

I was looking on their site, the front and rear LCA pics look like they're for a GS and not the SC.

There isn't a specific issue everyone is referring too. Our cars are old, so it's nice to know what our options are for replacement parts.

On SCs there isn’t any rear camber adjustment. When you lower your car, the wheels will have negative camber. All though it may look cool, you’re gonna wear out tires pretty quick.

That's not enough adjustment when you're lowered more than 2 inches.

Not necessarily sure I like the rubber especially in locations that see a lot of drastic weather changes. They look pretty stout, though. I'd love to see how these compare to the others - especially my BattleVersions.

They offer spherical bearings for more money.
