Whiteline Lower Control arms: What happened?
 

When Whiteline released their lower control arms with the yellow/gold coating on the beefy arms for $500 something, I instantly fell in love with it

but what happened to it? I placed an order, and waited for 5 months, and then the vendor got back to me and told me it was discontinued.

Now I guess they released a new one that's like.. this?

Does anyone happen to know why they discontinued the first ones?

That new one looks like a Alibaba special...

What do you recommend instead? 1.5" lowered

my stance lower arms fit great and are quality pieces

Those "new" Whiteline LCA's look a heck of a lot like my SPC lower arms... only in silver instead of the oem black color...

There was production issues with the original ones and cost went up significantly. New arms are affordable and get the large % of people covered with the adjustments they need.

The new Whiteline arms look nice. Other than the color, are they actually any different than the SPC version? Methinks they probably just rebranded them.

SPC is actually a better value, as it comes with the toe arm adjustment inserts.

Glad I went with Racer-x instead of waiting for the whiteline "re-design".

Not sure yet. I doubt they are SPC re-brand but shall see. As soon as we get some in we'll review them and post up some info on them.

Ah okay! Thanks for the clarification! I ordered through your website and was then told discontinued months later, haha

So Whiteline had production issues and it got too expensive,

The new ones feels like a serious downgrade in terms of "aesthetics"

If those really are the new design... I'll be skipping whiteline and look somewhere else now. Or try to find the old design

Will only find them used now. They been out of the usa for over a year now I would say.

A set of 12mm camber bolts will get you plus or minus half a degree.
