SPC arms may be cheap but they're designed well and have a superior method of camber adjustment when compared to most other aftermarket arms.

I honestly had the same confusion, so I can see it being a common thing.

I see no problems with their updated part, can you point out its shortcomings? Again, it does it's job very well and allows for camber adjustment without changing damper angles.

Simply Strength - I track hard

Sure it does the job if all you need is camber adjustment.

You have test data that shows its failure prone? When I say it does it's job I meant that it'll hold up at autox and track days too. Spend your money how you like but I'll take a superior product for half the price any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

BTW, the only other arm I would consider is the FIGS due to its camber adjustment which is similar to the SPC unit.

No data, simply by visual comparison of material, joint type, and construction method - pretty obvious i would say

Its not the money, its minimizing the risk of failure on the track which is priceless

If SPC suits ur need, budget, and skill level then u found a perfect product

Btw, do u hv any data on SPC proven on the track? Very curious to learn how its superior

10+ track days on my SPC LCAs and zero issues or "alignment creep", lots of track footage in my build thread...

I don't think they are superior to the SPL but they work fine and have bigger, stronger bushings than the stock LCAs. They are fine for hard track use IMO.
