That really doesnt do much but give you extended adjustment. How far do you really need to go with caster that the others wont? lol

I'm going to say it one more time. SPL are not as great as everyone thinks they are. Don't get me wrong, good tension rods, but not any better than the other companies really. I used them, I liked them, but I didn't like the fact that they started corroding so quickly.
Check out the rod end on the PSM ones: POWERED BY MAX: Forums フォーラム/ パーツショプMAXプãƒãƒ€ã‚¯ãƒˆãƒ•ã‚©ãƒ¼ãƒ©ãƒ Parts Shop MAX Products Forum / Generation III multilink suspension

great point! ^^ the Aurora rod ends. Make sure the arms you get have the nicer rod ends. the megan racing stuff has some sub par rod ends that go out in a couple thousand miles. the Aurora rod ends are some of the nicest out there. Thats all i use on all the trucks i build, and they last!!

^Indeed. I've had mine for about two years. I've put well over 25k miles on them, through rain, mud, and dirt backroads, and the Aurora ends still look brand new.

I've had Tein's on my S13 for past several years, it's the track car. and I went off track hard many many times. and in wet mud/grass as well, super fast and hard.
T3/Techno Toy Tuning on my S14 for past 2 years now, couple of track days and been daily driven since the install of the TC rod. No problem what so ever with either one of them.

The SPC TRs come with a stiffer rubber bushing, which would mean, eventually it would have to be replaced. With the poly bushings, you don't have to worry about that.

otherwise, the spc arm is good as a low maintenance adjustable piece. but it is inferior in terms of performance compared to a heim. not that you couldn't put a heim in the spc arm. |

I've held one and it's still on my car, working perfectly. Why are you trying to mount a campaign against a product? Why not just give your review of what you used and leave it alone?

agreed, there are many plat forms of driving tho some have different characteristics they all serve the same purpose. the only reason most people go with spl is that they have a reliable update system for there product.

I had Revo's and they are really fucking beefy and heavy. I was going to the track twice a week burning 5 sets of tires each time with my SR powered S13. Yes, that's 20 tires a week when I got hard core into drifting. When I first started out, I never knew how difficult it was and how important proper suspension tuning was. So I ended up off road A LOT! Anyways, long story short, they held up really well. Now I have a LS1 powered S14 and doing research on which is the best multi links for the buck. Might have to give SPL a try but was also looking at purchasing the whole Circuit Sports multilink package with the front lower control arms and rear lower control arms from enjuku racing just to have everything match. Anybody have any input with Circuit Sports stuff. They have a good warranty which is important to me. |
