ok im going to start buying control arms(rucas, toe arms, rear traction arms, and new lower arms for front and back) for my project build and have been doing some searching. ive been to enjuku.com and saw circut sports that looked ok, but it looked like chinese knock offs, yamato has some good looking arms and so does spl. but i cant really decide. does any one have any other models they use or had these parts on there s13 that they were happy with?

SPL while quite beefy, has a tendency to rust early. I have the tie rods/ends and the KTS coils and have seen this first hand. I recently opted to replace the rest of my arms with PBM $750 vs over $1000 SPL. They're super beefy drift bling to make you JDM tyte yo.

My ISIS arms just showed up today Ken at Enjuku gave me a very good price. Quality looks good not sure on fitment yet I will let you know tonight. I have yet to hear of any large issues and for the price they can not be beat.

ISIS arms are crap honestly they ARE rebranded china garbage. They use inferior ends, the welds are questionable, and there's a nice post in NICO about a guy whose arms came in in all kinds of misshapen. For literally $100 more you can get some real quality parts. I would rather go drifting or auto x with stock arms than ISIS. With ANY aftermarket arm you'll have to get a performance alignment.
