Default SPC (FIGS?) Front Control Arms w/ Ball Joints...

Does anyone have any feedback on this new(er) tubular design?
I tried searching but haven't found anything on the quality in comparison to the OEM ones.
My car (99 GS4) is stock at the moment with no intention of lowering at the moment.
I've just read horrible stories about some cheaper aftermarket units. Can anyone with them installed share their review?

I haven't read anything bad about them other then there are clearance issues with certain coilover or airbag setups.

I just installed them on my car last week. The ball joints look kinda weak and they smash into the top of the wheel well if I hit any potholes. The camber adjustment is cool though.

Hmm, wonder if going with Moog would be a better option...

If you're just wanting stock replacements then go with the Moog or Raybestos Professional Grade. I have the Raybestos and they're pretty solid pieces and haven't had any issues although I've only had them on for appx 8k miles.
