It would be for me im trying to get more weight off the front. Plus I doubt my local hack mechanic would be able to make use of all the adjustment areas.

OEM - 2540 grams each - 5080 grams total

SPL - 2727 grams each - 5454 grams total - 374 g more than stock?

Sorry - I had that wrong and have edited the original post. OEM is 2727 with the Whiteline stuff i had in there. SPL are 2540.

I have 3 seasons on my set and have had zero issues. They are amazing and super easy to adjust. Worth every penny

How are the rose joints (rod ends) holding up for people who have done at least 15,000 miles with them? Any play in the joints?

I want to change the front lower arms, mostly to get the track width I want without increasing scrub radius and to be able to have even wheel fitment front to rear without using front wheel spacers which are illegal in Australia. I really hate using exposed ball joints without seals on street cars. I don't like the Cusco slotted adjustment setup so I guess I need to compromise on the exposed joints and just go for SPL.

Mine are still holding up great, probably close to 30K Miles on them now.

This guy consistently loads up that suspension with Hoosiers without issues.

Can anyone confirm/deny whether these will work on a 22+ BRZ?

EDIT: After re-finding and re-reading that japanese article on the differences, I kinda doubt they'll work unless they updated the design for the aluminum knuckles. I've got an email out to them, but I don't expect to hear back until Monday.

EDIT2: I called SPL, and they confirmed their arms and tie rods were revised to be compatible with the 2nd gen BRZ.
