i agree. i think a lot of people on here are stuck on "name brand kool aid" and consider anything else shit. i know a lot of people with circuit sports parts, and dont know anyone with a failure yet. i dont think phase2motortrend or some of the other reputable sponsors/vendors would sell this stuff if it was trash. you can definitely tell their parts are much better/nicer than the ebay stuff.

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.

Trust me when I say that that arm had absolutely every reason to break. ANY tension rod would have been mangled. It broke right at the front bolt hole where it attaches to the control arm. The control arm was mangled up as well.

I have their tension rods, RUCA's, Traction rods,toe adjusting rods, and their front strut bar. I highly recommend their products , because their reliable, high quality at an affordable price. just one time i broke their tension rod on a ugly pot hole, but the guys at phase2 replaced it for me since it was still under warranty.

PS. FTW on their CS exhaust and coolant reservoir, I also have those on my car
