I took a set of broken circuit sports tension rods off a crashed car and I must say that they look very nice. The quality of the arm itself rivals (dare I say) SPL's and the bearings are actually nicer then the ones on my SPL tension rods. I plan to use the bearings/adjusters from the circuit sports tension rods on my FLCA's as I want bearings there instead of bushings. Their bearings are nice, teflon lined, 3-piece bearings and they feel really good. Even the used ones that I got felt just right. Not too tight, not too loose. I would highly reccomend their tension rods at the least. I have not personally seen any of their other arms, but as long as the bearings are the same as their tension rods they will be just fine. Honestly looking at how the arm broke in the "do not buy ebay arms" thread I don't think it broke all by itself. It looks like that arm suffered some sort of trauma before it broke. I wouldn't be afraid of circuit sports and I am a well known bearing whore.
