Just bought a set of fortune coilovers with swift springs. That being said I'm looking for aftermarket adjustable controls. looking for decent control arms, nothing that's gonna break after a few 100 miles or so. I heard that circuit arms are good, but looking for what people would recommend. Thanks!:2f2f:

GKTech are nice. I've had a good experience with cheap-o Megan's on my car for 5 years.

Circuit sports arms are up to the job, tough, heavy, have a standard locking mechanism, don't cost much, and don't wear much either.

Gktech, PBM, TDP and so on are lighter, easier to set, allow more lock front and so on, but they cost double / triple what the CS arms cost.

I'd recommend a full front kit (with spindles) though, it won't cost much more than just arms, and it fixes a lot of stuff. The stock rear is ok-ish, you can go away with just suspension arms. But a full arms + spindle kit is nice to have too :D

It all depends on your objectives and the money you want to put in.

My s13 is riding on FA500s, keisler front kit + nismo power brace (i was genuinely surprised at how good this thing is) , rear CS arms, no ARB (springs are hard enough front and the keisler mounting system is no good for that; and i prefer the rear without an ARB anyway).

If you have the money, a full front kit from TDP/GKtech and the like is really nice.

The ISR(ISIS) pro kit is a good, drift proven set of arms.

^^^ Thanks for input Tyler^^^

i know they went out of biz and back in. but its been little less than a year sense the "v2 arms" have come out I figured they made v1 sets prior? They look pretty good. Im gonna get the pro isis. it will only be a little more money considering p2m's package don't come with front radius/tension arms. although the p2m front curved arms are very useful. its crazy,, now there are so many good companys out there making arms for s-cars

I know people say Megan is cheep but I had there coilovers and arms on my first ls1 hatch and they where great. The kid that bought my car is still using them. Plus look at how many formula-d cars are running them. They make good stuff. sorry for double post i just had to say that.

You can buy cheapo arms as long as you realize you need to upgrade the ends to something like QA-1's. You should have no problems then...
