So this is pretty much our only option as far as front uca? I doubt figs will release his anytime soon. I think i might get these to fix my front camber

What are the differences in these and the megan arms? The spc ones are a little more money, but are there any other differences that make one better than the other?

I'm fairly sure only the SPCs can adjust camber and caster as well, whereas the Megan's can only adjust camber.

So how do the bushings compare between the two? Got any pics of the bushings? Just replaced my gen1s with some nonadjustable mahles. The alignment was in spec, but we'll see how the tires wear. The bushings on the gen1s were toast and making noise. If the bushings are stronger on the gen2s, I'll try them the next time I need ucas.

Love that color on the suspension color!! The green anodized lugs are the bees knees!!

Brian, do you know if the bushings are sold separately for the new design? I've tired to order the bushings for the previous version but was told to buy new arms. Thank you.

doubtful.... FIGS pressed mine out (or i think he did) had them powdercoated and then pressed them back in and shipped them to me. Ask Mike, he sells them and from what i understand he designed them and SPC built them
