    KSP control arms, anyone run them?

    I tried posting this in the s4 section and haven't gotten anyone who actually has ran these to give me any feedback.

    here's a link to the arms I'm talking about, they seem to be a direct copy of the spc /2 bennet

    they came with my car uninstalled when I bought it, and I was hoping to get some feedback before I put them on, has anyone personally used these?
    I'm not interested in other brands at this time, I know what's out there, I want to know about these specific ones if anyone has ran them and how they held up.

    Those appear to be the SPC adjustable arms (also sold under other names, like MOOG or MEVOTECH), usually about $400-800 per kit.

    The KSP arms are probably coming from the same chinese factory at a much better price.

    Personally, I'd run exactly those arms (SPC arms through an ebay channel like KSP), if I needed things to adjust. That said, I do not have direct experience with arms from this seller (KSP).

    I will say that SPC is quite trusted in the industry. They are generally known for making "solution kits" for fixing alignment problems on vehicles that have been in an accident and need additional adjustments that were not available on the stock vehicle (like a camber or caster correction kit).

    Go with these below instead. You'll also receive 3 benefits, you'll significantly (if not eliminate) fire wall seam seperation & upper tower contact damage as these have have a smaller profile, you'll eliminate the harsh/hard thuds over pot holes/etc as these are not hardbolted/locked into/onto the car, and smoother suspension/handling as these work with/glide/move with the suspension. OEM spec arms fight nail and tooth to reset to the neutral position...the problem being hardlocked to the subframe & those bumps and thuds get transferred into/thruout the unibody. If you go the ~oem route, just make sure you measure your ride height first on level ground (with proper air pressure) then lock the arms to that oem height with the wheel off by jacking under the hub to push it into the ride height position. If you go with these below, you do not need to height set them...as they float.
