Putting in all new aftermarket arms isn't an upgrade. Z

Only one that I could ever justify needing is the upper control arm to fix camber from lowering the car. Though being a fabricator I extend my own. Heim joints are not practical for street application. Considering this guy is probably not racing his car for a professional team and trying to shave seconds off his lap time, I'd say they are a waste of money. Stock arms work great and if one is that picky, change the old bushings to new ones. Save money and put it where it is better suited.

I own a shop and we are an isis dealer. Before becoming an isis dealer we purchased multiple products and installed them on our personal vehicles and customer vehicles for our own form of testing just to see if it was all too good to be true. . . .it wasnt and isnt.

We have put the isis arms imparticular through multiple drift competitions, time attack events, as well as over a year of daily driving out here in the sandy texas desert. We have never had any squeaking or binding issues in this time or through these extremes. Upon installing the arms we did lubricate the joints as you are supposed to with 90% of joints be them oem or aftermarket. One of the first vehicles we installed the arms on which is daily driven and daily harrassed was on the lift for some routine maintenance a couple weeks ago and upon giving it a once over the arms were all checked and we still in tip top shape, not even requiring a cleaning or lube.

I have used multiple arms on the 5 s-chassis i have owned as well as on customer s-chassis and other chassis, from ikeya, spl, kazama, battle version, megan, nagisa, circuit sports, fortune auto, stance, powered by max. After personally inspecting and using all of the brands i just listed, i would only rate 4 of them as higher quality, but they are out of the isis price range by decent amounts, some leaps and bounds above isis. Isis are by far an amazing arm for the price, as all of their products are.

We stand behind isis a a great parts manufacturer just as much as enjuku and isis themselves.

Once you install the RUCA if your car is low and you adjust camber you will notice that your toe will be way out of spec, and to get it back in spec you would need toe rods.

Also adding caster in the front of the vehicle can greatly change the steering feel of the car

And by adjusting traction rod length you can greatly alter the camber and caster curves through the suspensions range of movement.

That didn't answer my question haha. Regardless of street or race car. Its still an upgrade. Everyone has their own opinions as to what is necessary. IF you're only putting RUCA's on cars without adjustable toe rods, you most likely eat tires up.

So me, with no welding experience. It is more cost effective to have parts modified then buying arms for a couple hundred. Not to mention once you fab the stock arm how you want it you also don't have adjust-ability to change set-up. So then if i do want to change the arms i pay someone how much, twice?

I have been using ISIS coil overs for almost a year. I have never had any problems with my coils what so ever. I have been running the rear full hard for the last eight months in the rear..... still no leaking and no issues what so ever. Just saying. As for the Isis Arm kit I bought them 9 months ago been running the hell out of them on a consistent basis. So I def believe you get more than what you pay for. I highly recommend ISIS.

As for Mr. Gallo, You have never been deployed nor do you understand what a deployment means.... I mean if you consider AIR FORCE BASIC TRAINING AND AIT AS A "DEPLOYMENT" Then I guess you have been deployed. I know we have only been drifting one time together... U never once complained about ISIS suspension components Nor have u said anything about leaking. So do yourself a favor make sure you state facts not FICTITIOUS ARTIFICIAL BS.... Have a nice day

As for your engine parts, I know for a fact you beat the shit out of your car... I know I do. Any motor can have the possibly of failing no matter where you got it from. Mechanically all motors will eventually fail, It's a given. ESP if YOU BEAT YOUR CAR AT DRIFT EVENTS,(or daily) what could you possibly expect??? I know we have only been drifting one time together... U never once complained about ISIS suspension components

So once I get my motor I will def beat the shit out it, but i will def make sure it is properly maintenance at the "local shop" since I have amazing shop support.

Dear Mr. Gallo,

"PS TRY NOT TO OVERHEAT IT AGAIN...AGAIN...AGAIN."

You need toe rods to adjust toe.. My car is not slammed to an unfunctional level. I track my car. The stock cams on the other arms work fine.

Also what a lot of people don't know about SPL is that they have a loyalty program, which means when they come out with a newer version you simply give them your old arms and you get the new versions for 45% off. Also SPL arms are made in America not some random chinese warehouse or where ever competitors arms are made.

my 2 cents.

moral of my post- Buy it once cry once.
Damnit I forgot about their Black Friday Sale! I don't wanna pay full price for things.

For SPL yes, SPL only sells outter tie rods to be used with another manufacturers inner tie rods, they do not currently make their own inner tie rods... Here are fitment instructions direct from SPL's website.

Quote:
240SX with stock knuckles: Use with OEM 300ZX (Z32) inner tie rods or Tein 350Z (Z33) inner tie rods only.

240SX with modified (increased steering angle) knuckles: Use with S14 inner tie rods (OEM, Tein, Ikeya Formula, etc).
We are glad you guys are liking the SPL arms and we are very excited for their new product offerings in the future.
