I like those SPC control arms, they're so simple and the price is down right cheap for what they are.

Decisions decisions.
I just put the SPC arms on my car. I did front camber bolts, SPC arms, and Eibach pro-kit springs and an alignment all in one dose of new modifications. It has definitelly made a very postive/noticeable difference. I'm loving it.

Toe is adjustable, but your OE bushing deflect to a high degree.
"Static" settings are one thing; the goal is to have the settings you want while the car is in a dynamic situation. In other words: not deflect while driving.
For example, I use different alignment specs if the car has OE bushs/arms or not. This comes from lots of direct experience and looking for every trick one can get. Hey, good alignment or bad alignment both cost the same money!

Something like the GT-Spec or Megan are a nice product for reasonable cost an get the job done.
Track or guys who do weekend track events can contact us, we have a trick arm thats a little more costly in testing right now. Its in a colleagues track car in Australia (its Summer there) and allows for bump steer geometry change.

Our camber adjust LCA should be available in spring. Gmooker... tell me about your Vortech and I'll give you a good deal... Just dish already
