Nismo vs SPC Control Arms

That's what I'm trying.

You have 3-Tiers of Aftermarket Control Arms.

Bottom - eBay/Ali-Express trash that fail in the Heim, welds and metallurgical.
Mi-Tier - Megan/Circuit Sport - Cheap Heims that fail
Top-Tier - SPL, Voodoo, etc - failure from poor maintenance due to premium joints

If you're replacing the major failure point on the Megan/TruHart - EI: cheap rubber, then it should end up a solid arm for a reasonable price.


This is a street car, I don't need billet arms with full articulation for some trophy truck baja racing. Stock arms are like 18-gauge sheet metal.

still on my Circuit Sports arms from 2011... havent noticed any wear or tear in all the times ive looked at the heim joints. but then again, i dont beat the hell out of my car... and it was daily driven for 5-6 years before buying an actual daily driver.

You also live in Vegas which is going to be a HUGE environmental impact.

If you are daily-driving you car in the rust belt those Spherical are seized in two years regardless of how much PB-blaster or Grease you slop on them.

I'm sorry, it's all I could think about when I read that.

Always lube the rods before you go riding.

ah gotcha... rust isnt something i really ever consider due it being a non-issue in Vegas (and most of the west coast).
