^ Jesus Christ, are you still crying? Shut up and grow a pair.
Newsflash kiddo, this is Zilvia. Read my sig.

you sound like such a whiney brat

this thread isnt about you. this forum isnt about you. the world itself, is not all about you.

you're on a public car forum talking about an old ass car with complete strangers, what are you looking for? friendship and camaraderie? i am not saying that you cant make friends on the net and through the forums and what not, but dude... lighten up. you're taking every little poke as personal.

watch gran torino

ps: i dont advertise here, i dont advocate my business here, i rarely even mention anything regarding what i do here. and in all honesty, it is in my best interest to avoid even attempting to sell to any 240sx owners.

I do not know how anyone could identify PBM, Cusco, JIC rear upper arms as looking the same as our rear upper arms?

Aurora bearings have many grades, the ends you see on the Stance arms are their lowest 3-pc low carbon steel end with a ultimate load rating of just 7,200lbs. They are recommended for "lower stressed or non-critical uses such as sway bar links or shift linkage supports". The 2-pc end we use is a full alloy steel end with a load rating of 17,995lbs.

Item # MM-M16, MM-M & MB-M Series Male Rod Ends - Metric, General Purpose - Precision on Aurora Bearing Company

Part Number XMR10, XM Rod Ends on QA1 Precision Products, Inc.

^ Damn. Kuah's dropping knowledge bombs in here.

One_love_silvia · 04-07-2011, 01:27 PM

Hey kuah, do you guys have a spacer kit for more steering angle with ur guys' outter tie rods? Was planning on gettin stance's super angle kit, but thinkkin of goin with u guys if u sell a kit and can give the same amt of angle

C-unit · 04-07-2011, 01:40 PM

^ if you want more angle, just have your knuckles modified. It's alot more eftective than changing your tie rod ends and adding a spacer.

I have the latest version SPL tie rod ends. It doesn't give you more angle because it doesn't come with a spacer.

One_love_silvia · 04-07-2011, 01:42 PM

Cool thx for the info. Nvm, found out pbm makes them.

wh0aitznic0 · 04-07-2011, 02:04 PM

Lol you think outer tie rods give more angle.

C-unit · 04-07-2011, 02:08 PM

PBM got a kit.$250 or you can DIY if you know how to.

I wonder if SPL will make some lower control arms..atleast something to fix the rollcenter.

I was speaking of the spacers my friend. I was wondering if they came with a spacer kit like the super angle kit from stance. Sorry for wording it wrong.

Heard I got name dropped....

It should be said that I never daily drove the car on that setup, and the car only gets a few hours worth of run time per year.

Also, the car has been nationally autocrossing for a long time, and already has a ProSolo overall series win.

how does this relate to the question ask? there are many choices, and even cheap shit arms work great if the welds are O.K and the heads are good. Once basic reliability has been reached, you are paying for extra features (angles), customer support, peace of mind (build quality), and brand name loyalty. SO the OP should consider what he values and purchase accordingly.

The ebay arms are crap, no questions asked. If you can afford to do the maintenance, upgrades, and checks on them necessary to keep them going, they work. With that said, I agree that quality components offer their value in piece of mind and longevity. I'd probably get the latest iteration of the SPL arms just because the adjustment looks easier. Fighting the twin lock nut crap gets old.

looks like this thread almost turned into an advertisement lol

/*cough* commission *cough*

loljk

im glad this thread is helping people decide tho. some of us people (such as myself) havent had the privilege to see spl arms in person, or any close up pics of the sort, so this is a nice thread to help people decide.

i always knew that spl was top notch, but i never knew the welds would be that good.

codyace · 04-08-2011, 02:39 PM

Am I the only one who finds forum people's opinion of 'good welds' sort of ironic? Not saying SPL stuff is junk (as I have some of their arms) but who are armchair forum guys to say what makes a good from bad weld LOL. Especially one that has been powdercoated haha.

They take existing products and improves it?

So 32 way adjustable automatically means best too right? More is always better?

The thing is, there are 18 million threads about this stuff. Refer to the asshole/idiot stuff from above. Those who know, don't hafta ask.

Actually, this thread did NOT make my mind up.
I just agree with a "deal on arms".
I've always wanted SPL, just can't afford it, lol.

RurouniMidnight · 04-08-2011, 03:38 PM

Same video i was thinking of Nate, as soon as you said outer tie rods give you slightly more angle. I prefer the oem styled outters though.
