SPL can't be held responsible for your friends inability to correctly install and adjust parts.
I installed my v5 ends myself, then immediately after had a shop properly adjust them. I drove over 1600 miles nonstop to another state, drifted and abused the hell out of them with no problems and that was about 9 months ago. I clean off the excess black crap that builds up every time I'm under the car. They work just fine.
You obviously have no idea how the engineering of parts works. Especially aftermarket parts. They don't magically pop out of a factory all perfect. It takes testing, thousands of miles of regerous real world proving. SPL does the research and they provide parts as durable as you are going to get when it comes to aftermarket. They aren't OEM Nissan factory parts.
You should upgrade to V3 for the $120, if you cant align them yourself, install them and have a shop do it. There's a sheet of instructions on how to adjust the ends properly in the box.
