it's not the same thing

they BOTH make great parts, it's like compairing a cheese burger from Islands to one at In&Out. They both are great, but they both have a different market.
sorry but I would have to strongly disagree. When looking at the rear multilink parts, it seems the only difference btwn PBM and SPL is in the toe and rucas. SPL seems ot have the more lowered friendly toe control arm while PBM seems ot have the more lowered friendly RUCAS.

but, the thing is seriously how low are you really going to go? you have to have your frame rail literally 1 inch off the ground to have a need to rock PBM parts.

Most of spl parts are low car friendly and supports adjustment for bump steer (look at spl the outer tie rods). Bump steer is an issue when you lower your car.


But, my opinion is SPL suspension VS PBM suspension, i'd say SPL. Though, I do recognize PBM as having good suspension products (judging from pics, looks like good build quality).

Though, if I had to choose between SPL and PBM i would choose spl for these reasons:

1. SUPER AWESOME CUSTOMER SUPPORT
2. ALways updating products and offering discounted price on updates.
3. Provides reasons for updates.
4. An american company (I want my money spent on American products instead of helping someone else over seas)



Honestly though, I think PBM is just marketing their stuff more towards drifters. SPL is positioned as a quality parts company for both drifters and time attack/racers.



oops, just noticed PBM has a gen 2 toe rod so i guess they have more lower car friendly rucas and toe control arms.

Actually I have a question, are PBM parts solid of hollow? SPL's solid
